Patient's question:
My husband is the department manager and is solely responsible for negotiating contracts with others. In today's society, contracts must be discussed over drinks; otherwise, it's impossible to reach an agreement. So, my husband almost every day comes home drunk. He once had a case of gastrointestinal bleeding in the past, and recently, he has been complaining of chest discomfort, thinking it was just an old problem. He went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, and the doctor diagnosed him with alcoholic liver disease.Doctor's answer:
The recurrence of alcoholic liver disease is primarily related to alcohol consumption, but it doesn't mean that drinking alcohol will necessarily lead to a recurrence of liver disease. Generally, for healthy individuals, drinking in moderation, even in small amounts, and with restraint is beneficial to the body. Under certain specific circumstances, alcohol consumption may even demonstrate certain health benefits or therapeutic effects, and some severe alcoholics may not necessarily experience liver disease. In other words, alcohol's harmful effects on the liver have a degree and certain conditional factors. In addition to immediate medical treatment, patients with liver disease also need to pay attention to maintaining deep sleep in their daily lives. Sufficient deep sleep can help you recover from the disease more quickly. I hope the above answer can assist you. Thank you!
