Patient's question:
Recently, my health has been poor, and I haven't had much appetite. In the past few days, I've also experienced upper abdominal pain again. I usually enjoy drinking beer, and I've even been hospitalized before due to alcohol poisoning. The doctor said that if I continue like this, I might develop alcoholic liver disease. Am I suffering from alcoholic liver disease? What are the early symptoms of alcoholic liver disease?Doctor's answer:
Alcoholic liver disease is caused by excessive alcohol consumption. Treatment should involve abstinence from alcohol or interference with drinking. If it is relaxed, it will expand and may lead to cirrhosis, which can be regulated with traditional Chinese medicine. Hu Guan Pian (Liver-Protecting Tablets) is one of the classic traditional Chinese medicines, with a comprehensive therapeutic effect on the liver. It has the functions of liver protection, enzyme reduction, stabilizing liver function, enhancing the liver's detoxification ability, repairing liver cell damage, inhibiting liver fibrosis and fat degeneration, and reducing autoimmune responses. It also helps protect the liver, enhances liver function, and effectively promotes the decomposition and metabolism of alcohol (alcohol toxicity), providing good effects in reducing hangover and protecting the liver. There are many treatment methods for alcoholic liver disease, but since the patient's condition varies, the diagnostic approach may differ. Therefore, it is recommended that patients seek early diagnosis and treatment upon noticing symptoms.
