Patient's question:
My friend's father suffers from liver cirrhosis and has been treated repeatedly for a long time, but he has never recovered. Now, it has already reached an advanced stage, and the situation is not optimistic at all. My friend is very worried. His father has been having very few bowel movements and is extremely thin, unable to eat much. He also frequently experiences pain, especially intense pain.Doctor's answer:
Liver cirrhosis diet recommendations:1. Consume high-protein, high-carbohydrate, high-vitamin, low-fat, and easily digestible foods, such as lean meat, fish, eggs, vegetables, and fruits;
2. In advanced liver cirrhosis with hepatic encephalopathy, a low-protein diet should be followed. If the swelling is severe or accompanied by ascites, a low-salt or salt-free diet is recommended;
3. If constipation is present, consuming more sesame oil, honey, sesame seeds, and bananas can help maintain regular bowel movements, increase ammonia accumulation, and prevent hepatic encephalopathy.
In addition to timely treatment for liver cirrhosis, patients need to pay attention to proper care, such as maintaining a balanced diet and keeping a positive mood. At the same time, patients should also be mindful of choosing a reputable hospital for treatment to ensure effective outcomes.
