What happens if you get cirrhosis of the liver?

Patient's question:

I have had hepatitis B for over 50 years. I already have other diseases and take medicine every day. The first time I took 10-15 tablets; I have been taking it for over ten years. Recently, I have been experiencing pain in the liver area and a series of abnormal symptoms have reappeared. I went to the hospital today and was told it is liver cirrhosis, moderate or mid-stage. Hello, does having liver cirrhosis mean the same as having cancer or being on the brink of death? I already have hepatitis B, over 50 years, hello, can it still be treated?

Doctor's answer:

According to your symptoms, it should not have reached the late stage of liver cirrhosis. This is the compensatory stage of liver cirrhosis. As long as liver cirrhosis is treated in time and good liver function is maintained, it is different from liver cancer. However, currently there are no specific drugs available. In addition to timely treatment of liver cirrhosis, patients also need to pay attention to dietary aspects, such as proper diet and maintaining a positive mood. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to seeking medical treatment at a Class A hospital, so as to obtain good treatment effects.
