Patient's question:
My girlfriend's father loves drinking beer very much and always gets drunk. Recently, he has been feeling unwell. Usually, his health is quite good, but we couldn't rest easy, so we took him to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said it was liver cirrhosis. Besides taking medicine, he also needs to pay special attention to his diet.Doctor's answer:
Liver cirrhosis requires attention to a diet that includes soft and smooth foods. In patients with liver cirrhosis, digestive and absorption functions may be impaired, and they may also experience esophageal varices. Therefore, the food consumed by patients must be soft and smooth to avoid injuring the esophagus and causing severe bleeding again. Foods that can be eaten include those with bones and spines, as well as celery, chives, old cabbage, soybean sprouts, and hard, brittle dry foods. Other edible foods include mashed vegetables, minced meat, and soft rice. Stay healthy. In addition to symptomatic treatment for liver cirrhosis, patients also need to pay attention to their diet, such as eating light and avoiding spicy and irritating foods. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a professional hospital for treatment to achieve good therapeutic effects.
