How is liver cirrhosis treated?

Patient's question:

The old man was diagnosed with hepatitis B in his forties. He thought many people had this disease and didn't pay much attention to it, except for the initial days when he was sick and treated for many days. Later, he felt better and stopped going to the hospital. But recently, he suddenly lost his appetite and began to lose weight rapidly. Sometimes he even had nosebleeds. When he went to the hospital, he was diagnosed with liver cirrhosis.

Doctor's answer:

More than half of liver cirrhosis is caused by hepatitis B. If timely treatment is not obtained, it will eventually develop into liver cancer. Previously, the main methods for treating liver cirrhosis included strict treatment, which has a certain effect on early-stage liver cirrhosis and can also slow down the progression of liver cirrhosis. Surgical treatment, including shunt surgery, ligation surgery, and liver transplantation. Patients with liver cirrhosis should implement appropriate treatment based on the severity of their condition under the guidance of a doctor. In addition to immediate treatment, patients with liver cirrhosis also need to pay attention to maintaining a good mood in their daily lives. A positive mood is very helpful for the complete recovery from the disease. I hope the above answer can assist you. Thank you!
