Patient's question:
A while ago, because I often saw people smoking and drinking beer, I recently started experiencing liver discomfort. Later, I went to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said that my hepatitis B had led to cirrhosis of the liver. At that time, I had surgery to have my spleen removed. But do I still need any treatment? How should liver cirrhosis be treated?Doctor's answer:
The spleen removal is the only way to address the issue of skin breakdown, but it does not treat liver cirrhosis. Liver cirrhosis refers to the hardening of the liver tissue. It is a chronic, progressive diffuse change in the liver caused by various reasons. It results from one or more causes repeatedly and chronically damaging liver cells, leading to liver cell degeneration and necrosis. In addition to treatment for liver cirrhosis, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a cheerful mood at all times to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
