Patient's question:
I come from, on New Year's Day this year, I suddenly had gastrointestinal bleeding a lot, which had never been a problem before and reappeared. Then I went to the hospital, where I was diagnosed with liver cirrhosis. It has been nine days since the 15th, and now the blood has been collected, and I am receiving strict treatment.Doctor's answer:
Don't hurry. If a patient with cirrhosis has experienced gastrointestinal bleeding once, they should seriously consider liver transplantation. This is the most fundamental way to self-heal. If the patient is financially struggling, they can undergo a devascularization surgery while preserving the spleen. If the patient is weak, they can undergo sclerotherapy via an endoscope. Therefore, there are still many options. The doctor is very clear: currently, devascularization surgery can be considered to prevent further bleeding, but it is recommended that liver function should be relatively good and the spleen should be preserved as much as possible. In addition to medication for treating cirrhosis, the patient also needs to pay attention to nursing care, such as maintaining a light diet and staying active outdoors.
