Patient's question:
My husband was diagnosed with liver cirrhosis last September. During this time, his gums always peeled when he was washing his face. What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
This is due to liver damage during cirrhosis, where thrombin and coagulation factors increase. It may also be that cirrhosis leads to splenomegaly, causing thrombocytopenia, which results in easy bruising. It is recommended that your loved one undergoes a liver and coagulation check at a regular hospital and follow medical advice for treatment based on the results. In addition to treating cirrhosis, it is advised that the patient pay attention to diet in daily life and maintain a positive mood to enhance physical health and slow down the recovery process.
