Patient's question:
My father is now in the late decompensated stage of liver cirrhosis. During the Chinese New Year, he vomited a lot of blood. He developed secondary neuron peritonitis and hepatic encephalopathy. After medication, he was discharged less than a month ago, and he vomited blood again. What should we do? How much longer can he live?Doctor's answer:
Compensated cirrhosis primarily manifests as systemic symptoms and signs caused by liver dysfunction and portal hypertension, which can recur with systemic symptoms and signs, digestive system symptoms, bleeding tendency, anemia, and endocrine disorders; splenomegaly, the formation and opening of collateral circulation, and ascites. In this case, it is best to follow the doctor's advice on whether hospitalization treatment is needed. I hope the above clarification will be helpful to you.In addition to treating cirrhosis, patients are advised to pay attention to their diet and maintain a cheerful mood in daily life to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
