Patient's question:
The patient experienced abdominal pain again more than a year ago without any obvious cause, which became more pronounced after meals. Due to the mild symptoms, the patient sought medical attention. Starting on August 5, the patient had black stools eight times without any obvious cause, consisting of greasy-like stools and dark red blood. The total volume was approximately 5,000 ml. After intravenous ciprofloxacin, there was no significant improvement. On the 6th, the patient vomited dark red blood twice during the trip to the hospital, with a total volume of about 300 ml, accompanied by dizziness and heavy sweating. The patient was admitted for gastrointestinal bleeding and later diagnosed with decompensated cirrhosis.Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the patient is currently in the decompensated stage of cirrhosis. For the patient's current condition, it is recommended to first perform percutaneous drainage to remove ascites. Once the ascites subsides, surgery can be considered. For severely cirrhotic patients, it is advised to seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor's recommendations for timely treatment. Avoid blindly relying on advertisements for medication, as this may worsen the condition. The above opinions are for reference only. It is hoped that the answer above can assist you. Thank you.
