What are the symptoms of cirrhosis?

Patient's question:

This, recently, I feel like I don't know if it's because I've been drinking too much wine. Anyway, it's a bit painful, and I've been feeling a pain in this liver area. Sometimes it even hurts so badly that even taking a breath feels extremely painful. I also feel that it's very painful when straightening my back.

Doctor's answer:

Cirrhosis is a common chronic progressive liver disease in clinical diagnosis, characterized by diffuse liver damage caused by one or more different etiologies over a long period or repeatedly. Histologically, it involves extensive hepatocyte necrosis, nodular regeneration of surviving hepatocytes, fibrosis of connective tissue, and formation of fibrous septa, leading to destruction of liver lobule structure and formation of pseudolobules. The liver gradually deforms, hardens, and expands into cirrhosis.
In addition, during the treatment of cirrhosis, besides immediate medical intervention, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also crucial. It is essential for patients to maintain a positive mood and follow a proper diet to avoid unnecessary interference with the complete recovery of cirrhosis.
