Patient's question:
Am I a liver cirrhosis patient, should I be treated with traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine?Doctor's answer:
For liver cirrhosis, there is currently no specific medication available, whether it's Western medicine or traditional Chinese medicine. Currently, the approach advocates for integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment, comprehensive evaluation of the condition, and symptomatic treatment to slow down the progression of the disease and reduce the risk of complications.Recommendation: Specific treatment plans must involve visiting a hepatology department promptly. The doctor needs to refer to liver function tests and other examinations to assess the condition before providing targeted medication and treatment. Liver cirrhosis has stages such as early stages and decompensated stages, and it must be treated based on individual circumstances.
Hope this helps.
