Patient's question:
I used to love drinking beer when I was young, and I didn't pay attention to my diet either. After drinking, I couldn't eat dinner, and my appetite was also poor. I was very thin. Recently, I often feel nauseous and tired all over. In the mornings, I also frequently feel dizzy.Doctor's answer:
In the early stage of cirrhosis, patients may experience symptoms such as poor appetite, fatigue, nausea, aversion to greasy foods, and discomfort in the liver area, or they may show no obvious clinical diagnostic symptoms. Most liver function tests are normal or mildly abnormal. As the liver gradually hardens, its function significantly declines, manifesting as digestive symptoms, malnutrition, a tendency to bleed, edema, endocrine disorders, ascites formation, and even hepatic coma. Additionally, complications such as upper gastrointestinal bleeding, primary liver cancer, infections, and hepatorenal syndrome may reappear.In addition to medication for treating cirrhosis, patients also need to pay attention to their diet, such as eating light meals and avoiding spicy and irritating foods. At the same time, patients should be careful to choose a professional hospital for diagnosis to ensure good treatment outcomes.
