Patient's question:
Due to the frequent company banquets and a lot of beer consumption, I was diagnosed with alcoholic liver disease at the hospital. However, recently I've been experiencing a lack of appetite, feeling nauseous even when eating, and forcing myself to eat. I thought I was eating quite a bit, but ironically, I've been losing weight instead. Additionally, I've been having frequent stomach pains lately.Doctor's answer:
You previously had alcoholic liver disease and often drank beer. Recently, you have again experienced poor appetite and a lack of appetite, which is likely due to alcoholic liver disease. The early symptoms of cirrhosis are not very obvious. Generally, patients may feel very tired, but rest does not alleviate this fatigue. In severe cases, nausea and liver pain may reappear. Your condition is considered to be caused by severe alcoholic liver disease. It is recommended to abstain from alcohol and seek timely treatment. In addition to timely treatment for cirrhosis, friends with the disease should maintain a positive attitude to face the illness. Only in this way can patients receive timely and appropriate treatment.
