Patient's question:
My uncle has liver cirrhosis. He is most afraid of getting sick. Now he is always in a gloomy mood. We are all very worried. Tomorrow I will visit him and stay with him for two days. =What should I pay attention to when taking care of him?Doctor's answer:
The liver has a very close relationship with mental and emotional well-being. Poor mood, mental depression, or sudden anger and excitement can interfere with liver function and accelerate the spread of inflammation. Developing a strong will, maintaining a cheerful mood, boosting spirits, and completely eliminating mental burdens can be beneficial for stabilizing the condition.When compensatory function declines, in cases of ascites or infection, patients should rest in bed absolutely. During periods of full compensatory function and stable condition, light work or appropriate exercise can be done, and beneficial physical exercise should be implemented. The level of activity should be adjusted so that fatigue is not felt.
For patients, if the condition of liver cirrhosis is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment should be initiated, and appropriate medication should be used. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of liver cirrhosis.
