Why does cirrhosis cause severe anal pain?

Patient's question:

I have learned that I have liver cirrhosis for 1 year, and recently I have been experiencing severe anal pain every night! I am very worried about the worsening of my condition.

Doctor's answer:

This needs to be checked. There is no special relationship between cirrhosis and anal pain. Your condition needs to be examined to determine if there are external hemorrhoids or rectal diseases. I'm not sure if the "anal" pain you mentioned is a typo. If it's liver area pain, Chinese medicine oral administration of blood-activating herbs can be considered, and the effect is quite good. External treatment methods can also be implemented at a traditional Chinese medicine hospital. The administration of liver-protecting drugs can also be effective. For the patient, if the cirrhosis condition is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment should be initiated, with proper medication. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of cirrhosis. In addition, the patient needs to pay attention to their diet and psychological care.
