Patient's question:
My older cousin, having succeeded in business, has been sighing all day and drinking beer to vent his frustrations. The family members have tried to persuade him repeatedly, but it hasn't made any difference. Seeing his constant lack of motivation, everyone in the family is very heartbroken. A few days ago, my older cousin suffered severe abdominal pain and went to the hospital for a check-up. The doctors diagnosed him with liver cirrhosis and he is now hospitalized for treatment.Doctor's answer:
Early-stage liver cirrhosis generally does not have obvious symptoms. Once it reaches the late stage, i.e., the decompensation stage, it often leads to the re-emergence of significant complications. In the late stage of liver cirrhosis, the cause of death is mostly due to severe complications, so how long patients with late-stage liver cirrhosis can live has become a question of great concern for many of them.As cited, the complications of late-stage liver cirrhosis are numerous, and most are caused by the recurrence of complications leading to the patient losing their life. Therefore, actively alleviating the complications of liver cirrhosis patients is the most important. For severe liver cirrhosis patients, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible and follow the doctor's advice for early treatment. Avoid changing medications at will, otherwise, the effect may be counterproductive.
