Patient's question:
My colleague has always been very healthy, but about half a month ago, he started to eat less and always felt tired. He also often had stomach pain. Recently, he has lost several inches off his waist. The day before yesterday, his family took him to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said he had cirrhosis of the liver.Doctor's answer:
For patients with cirrhosis, a diet that is light, nutritious, and easy to digest is recommended. Avoid rough, hard, spicy, greasy foods, and absolutely no alcohol. A daily diet containing 60g of high-efficiency protein can meet the needs. Fish, lean meat, eggs, dairy products, and soy products can be alternated for consumption. When liver damage occurs, daily intake should not be less than 20g, and it is important to maintain a positive mood. Patients facing the harm of cirrhosis should actively adopt treatment measures and should not avoid seeking medical attention. If cirrhosis is not cured after long-term treatment, it is necessary to change the treatment plan promptly.
