Patient's question:
Dad is a heavy drinker. He was hospitalized early on for drinking beer, and doctors have repeatedly warned him to quit, but he never took it seriously. Although he has drunk much less than before, he hasn't stopped completely. In the past few months, his appetite has noticeably increased, and symptoms like abdominal pain have reappeared. It might be that he has hepatitis.Doctor's answer:
Hello; During hepatitis, bile excretion increases, interfering with the absorption and digestion of food. The inflammation of the organ may also lead to impaired blood flow in the liver sinusoids, causing congestion and edema in the gastrointestinal tract, further interfering with the absorption and digestion of food. It is recommended to pay attention to diet, avoid alcohol, and avoid spicy foods. Also, be mindful of not overexerting yourself or working overtime, and maintain a positive mood while strengthening exercise to boost your immune system. In addition to timely treatment, chronic hepatitis patients need to pay attention to maintaining a proper diet in daily life to digest nutrients. I hope the above answer can assist you. Thank you!
