Patient's question:
Grandpa has never had good liver health. He was born with chronic hepatitis B (), which was inherited from his mother. Later, due to work reasons, he often had to attend banquets and drink beer. Over the past month, he has been experiencing a persistent dull pain in his liver. After a check-up, it was discovered that he has cirrhosis. We are actively assisting him in his treatment.Doctor's answer:
Eat high-protein, high-carbohydrate, high-vitamin, low-fat, and easily digestible foods, such as lean meat, fish, eggs, vegetables, and fruits; for advanced liver cirrhosis with hepatic coma, a low-protein diet should be followed. For those with severe edema or ascites, a low-sodium or salt-free diet is recommended. If constipation occurs, consuming more flaxseed oil, honey, sesame seeds, and bananas can help maintain regular bowel movements, increase the accumulation of ammonia, and prevent hepatic coma. For severe liver cirrhosis patients, it is advised to seek medical attention as soon as possible and follow the doctor's recommendations for timely treatment. Avoid blindly relying on advertisements or alternative medications, as this may worsen the condition.
