Patient's question:
Lately, I haven't been feeling like eating, often feeling nauseous and vomiting, and have lost a significant amount of weight. I feel weak all over, and my whole body feels soft and sluggish. I also frequently have diarrhea and visit the restroom many times a day. After going, my stomach still feels bloated. I searched online and found that this could be related to liver cirrhosis.Doctor's answer:
Cirrhosis is a common chronic diffuse progressive disease, caused by various different reasons leading to chronic widespread liver parenchymal damage. Widespread cellular degeneration, suppuration, and swelling replace fibrotic fibrous tissue, destroying the normal liver lobular structure, gradually hardening the liver to develop cirrhosis. In clinical diagnosis, it may be asymptomatic in the early stage. It is recommended to first undergo an English-named examination in a formal hospital, followed by symptomatic systemic treatment. In addition, during the treatment of cirrhosis, in addition to timely treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also crucial. Patients must maintain a light diet and always keep a cheerful and optimistic mindset.
