Patient's question:
My mother has always been quite overweight and previously had fatty liver disease. She never took it seriously and didn't seek treatment. A while ago, she often experienced abdominal pain, so I took her for a thorough examination. The result was autoimmune biliary cirrhosis, but, it was in the early stages. Now, she is receiving ongoing treatment.Doctor's answer:
Patients with liver disease must have confidence in themselves and never be pessimistic or discouraged. Liver disease can be cured, and while receiving treatment, it is also important to pay attention to a proper diet. For example, eat more whole grains and plant-based foods, maintain a balance of coarse and fine grains, consume more fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins, and limit foods that are difficult to digest, greasy, or spicy. For many special patients, they can take medications that promote the body's metabolic breakdown. In fact, having biliary cirrhosis is not frightening at all. Patients should believe that they can overcome the disease. As long as symptoms are detected early and treatment is provided accordingly, the chances of alleviating the condition and recovering are very high.
