Patient's question:

No obvious symptoms, occasional diarrhea after drinking alcohol or eating irritating foods, pain in the right abdomen

Doctor's answer:

Hello! Patients with moderate to severe alcoholic liver disease should receive treatment as early as possible. Right abdominal pain is a common symptom of liver disease. If left untreated, it can progress to alcoholic cirrhosis in the late stages, endangering life. Recommendation: Patients with moderate to severe alcoholic liver disease should first quit drinking, and then receive scientific treatment based on abstinence. With strict adherence to treatment, recovery is possible. In addition to treating alcoholic liver disease, patients are advised to pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a cheerful mood to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
