Patient's question:
I doubt that I have cirrhosis of the liver because I often drink beer regularly, and my daily routine is very irregular. I also don't have a regular dinner schedule. Recently, I've been experiencing constant abdominal pain, loss of appetite, nausea, and occasional vomiting. I've also lost a lot of weight. I'm questioning whether I have cirrhosis of the liver, as it is said that people who drink a lot of beer are prone to this disease.Doctor's answer:
