Patient's question:
I really enjoy drinking beer and eating fatty meat. I have always had high cholesterol, but recently I feel that something is not right with my liver. I haven't dared to tell my children about it, afraid they will worry. They all have busy jobs, and I haven't gone to the hospital for a check-up. I'm afraid that if I develop liver cirrhosis, I won't be able to face it.Doctor's answer:
Spider angiomas and livid palms are relatively easy-to-notice symptoms of liver cirrhosis. The recurrence of spider angiomas can, to some extent, serve as a sign of chronic hepatitis or liver cirrhosis, but it is not specific. If both spider angiomas and livid palms reappear, it should attract people's attention. Along with symptoms such as general fatigue and jaundice, early signs of liver cirrhosis, such as weight loss, weakness, and decreased appetite, may also occur. Liver cirrhosis has a significant impact on patients. Once symptoms are detected, it is important to seek medical attention promptly and pay close attention to dietary issues, with a focus on light and nutritious foods. It is hoped that liver cirrhosis patients can receive professional treatment.
