Patient's question:
In the family, there are 2 people with hepatitis. It is said that the recommended diet is relatively high, but I don't quite understand it. It seems like the doctor has also forgotten about it. I would like to ask what kind of food suggestions are there for people with hepatitis in their daily diet?Doctor's answer:
In the recovery period of hepatitis, patients may experience increased appetite, but it is important to monitor weight. Excessive obesity can easily put pressure on the liver and lead to fatty liver. During fibrosis, a low-sodium diet is recommended, and the reduction of ascites should be managed. Additionally, avoid hard foods to prevent esophageal variceal rupture and severe bleeding. Patients should avoid alcohol.It is advisable to maintain activity. While having hepatitis is not necessarily (terrible), patients should believe in their ability to overcome the disease. As long as symptoms are detected early and appropriate treatment is provided, the chances of alleviating the condition and recovering are very high.
