How is liver cirrhosis best treated?

Patient's question:

My husband is 30 years old this year. In January 2011, he went to the hospital because he was vomiting blood. The doctor diagnosed him with liver cirrhosis and excessive blood loss. Since we never thought he would get this disease, we had never had him checked. At that time, due to excessive blood loss, he was always at risk of life-threatening danger, so he underwent a TPS surgery at the hospital.

Doctor's answer:

We believe that there is currently no specific treatment for liver cirrhosis. At this stage, your treatment mainly focuses on suppressing the condition to prevent further deterioration. It is recommended that patients increase their physical activity moderately during daily life, avoid overexertion, ensure adequate rest, and consume high-calorie, high-protein, and easily digestible foods rich in vitamins. If the patient vomits blood again, it indicates the presence of esophageal and gastric varices, so rough and hard foods should also be avoided. Additionally, a complete ban on alcohol is necessary. There is no specific or complete cure for liver cirrhosis other than liver transplantation, so it is recommended to cooperate with medical advice, take medication diligently, and actively work together to suppress the condition.
