Patient's question:
Medical History This year, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, a late-stage liver cirrhosis patient experienced upper gastrointestinal bleeding, with fragmentation of blood vessels in the upper gastrointestinal tract. The bleeding has now been stopped, but due to a large amount of ascites, surgery to perform vascular embolization is not possible, nor can the spleen be removed. What dangers might arise during this period?Doctor's answer:
The greatest danger in this situation is still the recurrence of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Bleeding can damage the soul. I advise the patient to absolutely not strain, increase physical activity, avoid overly salty, dry, or hard foods, avoid coughing, and avoid straining during bowel movements. These activities can all lead to bleeding. Do you understand? There are many treatments for liver cirrhosis, but since the patient's condition varies, the treatment methods also differ. Therefore, it is necessary for the patient to be diagnosed as soon as possible so that the right treatment can be administered.
