How should liver cirrhosis be treated?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I recently noticed that my liver area sometimes has a sense of pain, sometimes nausea and vomiting, poor appetite. After checking at the hospital, I learned it was cirrhosis. Now, despite taking many medications, it hasn't been effective. I can't even drink beer with dinner, and I'm so frustrated.

Doctor's answer:

Due to long-term harm to the liver caused by different etiologies such as viruses, parasites, alcohol, food, or drugs, liver cells degenerate, become purulent, and regenerate, leading to widespread fibrosis of fibrous tissue. The main manifestations of chronic liver disease include right hypochondriac distension, tenderness, rigidity, nausea, poor appetite, fatigue, abdominal muscle tension, red and purple streaks, dark purple tongue, and wiry pulse. The daily treatment for patients with cirrhosis primarily involves medication. Patients can take many oral medications, complemented by various vitamins, while paying attention to a diet rich in light, thin, and soft foods. It is hoped that cirrhotic patients can recover as soon as possible! Thank you!
