Patient's question:
I have recently been feeling some pain in my liver area, sometimes with poor appetite and nausea, wanting to vomit. After checking at the hospital, I found out it was liver cirrhosis. I have taken many medications, but they haven't been effective. Now I dare not eat anything, not even drink alcohol.Doctor's answer:
For patients with cirrhosis, it is important to avoid hard-to-digest foods and high-protein diets to prevent bowel movements. However, they can choose many easily absorbable protein foods, such as low-fat milk, protein powder, tofu, and others. Effective medication treatment is crucial for cirrhosis patients. It should be based on the cause and condition of the disease, and a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine should be adopted for syndrome differentiation and treatment. Symptomatic treatment should also be provided to alleviate recurring discomfort symptoms. Otherwise, taking harmful medications or seeking treatment blindly in emergencies may lead to counterproductive effects and miss the opportunity for timely treatment.
