Patient's question:
A friend's father has had cirrhosis of the liver for a year. Recently, he has been experiencing nosebleeds, low protein levels, and gastritis. When he was diagnosed, it was found to be early-stage cirrhosis, with liver function in the compensated phase. He feels very tired, has poor deep sleep, and seems to be in constant pain. He loves to drink beer.Doctor's answer:
Liver cirrhosis absolutely cannot drink beer, drinking beer must be softened. To alleviate the burden on the body, avoid drinking. Cirrhosis can be treated with traditional Chinese medicine. With proper medication, it can be controlled and the progression of liver cirrhosis can be halted. There is no specific treatment for this disease; the key lies in early diagnosis, addressing the cause, and enhancing symptomatic treatment to alleviate the condition and shorten the compensation period. For patients in the decompensated stage, the main focus is on symptomatic treatment, stabilizing liver function, and treating complications. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Liver cirrhosis patients can, while understanding symptomatic treatment, use dietary therapy as a complementary treatment in daily life. It is crucial to avoid excessive hunger or fullness in daily diet and never overeat or binge on food.
