How should cirrhosis with ascites be treated?

Patient's question:

Abdominal fluid about 10,000 milliliters. Leg swelling. Weakness. Besides gastritis, appetite has twisted.

Doctor's answer:

Western medicine typically treats liver cirrhosis and ascites by using diuretics and digestive enzymes to alleviate symptoms, but the ascites often reappears after a period of time. Traditional Chinese medicine can enhance the compression and repair of liver fibrous tissue, reduce portal vein pressure, and eliminate ascites, causing the spleen to shrink and the liver to soften. You can use Fu Gan Tang (Liver Restoration Decoction) and Xiao Shui Tang (Edema Reduction Decoction) for treatment, which generally takes about twenty days to eliminate ascites.
In addition to treating liver cirrhosis, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a cheerful mood to strengthen their constitution and slow down the recovery process.
