Patient's question:
I am a hepatitis patient, known as the "big three positive" in the legend, a hepatitis B carrier. People say that people like us are prone to conditions like cirrhosis and liver cancer. Currently, I don't feel any discomfort in my body, but I just want to understand what general physical symptoms cirrhosis patients usually experience again?Doctor's answer:
Cirrhosis is a common chronic liver disease. In the early stages, due to the liver's strong compensatory function, there may be no obvious symptoms. In the later stages, multiple systems are affected, primarily characterized by liver damage and portal hypertension, often accompanied by gastrointestinal bleeding, hepatic encephalopathy, secondary infections, and carcinogenesis. The early symptoms of the disease are somewhat similar to those of gastrointestinal disorders, with symptoms such as nausea, dry vomiting, decreased appetite, and general fatigue. Most people overlook these signs, leading to missed opportunities for the best treatment of liver disease. If you experience any of these symptoms, it is recommended to seek medical treatment promptly. Wishing you a speedy recovery. In addition to timely treatment for cirrhosis, patients also need to pay attention to nursing aspects, such as maintaining a light diet and avoiding spicy and irritating foods.
