Patient's question:
The medicine taken after discharge is one pill per day, about ten yuan per pill. I'm not quite sure about its name, but it's quite effective. A few days ago, I might have eaten greasy food again, which caused stomach bleeding. This time, it wasn't very serious.Doctor's answer:
Your father developed varicose veins in the venous vessels due to portal hypertension, leading to upper gastrointestinal or gastric esophageal vein bleeding. This recurrence is a result of the liver cirrhosis disease progressing to the decompensated stage of liver function. It is one of the most significant complications of liver cirrhosis.It is recommended that your father undergo an ultrasound examination and an endoscopy to confirm the cause of the bleeding. If a thrombus forms in the gastrointestinal tract, leading to bleeding, he must be taken to a large hospital for thrombectomy surgery. Currently, there is no specific medication for liver cirrhosis. It is advised that your father first focus on mental well-being—avoiding anger and fatigue, maintaining a positive mental state, and ensuring happiness.
Secondly, attention should be paid to dietary management.
