Patient's question:
I was diagnosed with hepatitis C five years ago. At that time, I just felt tired often and especially didn't want to eat greasy food. Sometimes I also felt dizzy. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor said it was hepatitis C, and my condition was getting worse. Recently, when I went to the hospital for another check-up, the doctor said it was advanced liver cirrhosis.Doctor's answer:
The onset and progression of cirrhosis are generally slow, and it can be hidden for 3 to 5 years or even a decade or more. In the early stages of cirrhosis, active comprehensive prevention and treatment can reverse or halt its progression. However, many patients overlook the early symptoms of cirrhosis, leading to poor treatment and allowing the inflammation to advance to an advanced stage, severely impacting the patient's quality of life and even harming their soul. Therefore, comprehensive prevention and treatment of cirrhosis are crucial. The condition of cirrhosis is very serious, and patients are advised to seek timely symptomatic treatment. It is hoped that patients can follow their doctors' recommendations for symptomatic treatment. Attention should also be paid to dietary issues, avoiding spicy and irritating foods to prevent worsening the condition.
