Patient's question:
My husband usually dislikes drinking a little alcohol, mainly baijiu, but he would never drink too much. He has the habit of drinking one cup every day, usually in the evening. Since my husband has always been in great health, I know that alcohol can harm the liver but haven't pressed him too hard about it. However, recently, he has been experiencing liver pain again and feels extremely tired. I'm worried he might develop liver cirrhosis.Doctor's answer:
There are many causes of liver cirrhosis, generally including drug factors, hepatitis viruses, etc. Drug factors refer to long-term consumption of many drugs, while hepatitis viruses refer to conditions such as hepatitis B in patients. These can all lead to the recurrence of liver cirrhosis. Regarding your husband's condition, it cannot be diagnosed directly at this time, and it is not possible to diagnose solely based on your description. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for examination. For severe liver cirrhosis patients, it is advised to seek medical attention as soon as possible and follow the doctor's advice for early treatment. Avoid blindly trusting and using advertised drugs for treatment, as this may worsen the condition.
