Patient's question:
Grandpa started to notice his complexion turning a bit yellow at the beginning of this year, and even his sclera were yellow. A few days ago, after a thorough examination, it was discovered that he had developed jaundice hepatitis. Now, three months have passed, and his condition has been getting worse, with his abdomen becoming larger. A few days ago, someone told him that lying down for an hour after meals is good for the liver, but previously, others had said that one should be active after meals.Doctor's answer:
If the patient has already begun to show symptoms of jaundice, once the jaundice subsides and the symptoms significantly improve, the patient can lie in bed floating for one or two hours every day. However, this should be limited to the point where the patient does not feel tired. When liver cells are damaged, it is important to ensure that as much blood as possible flows to the liver, providing more oxygen and nutrients to the liver cells. Therefore, resting in bed for one or two hours after meals is absolutely essential and cannot be neglected. This can increase the amount of blood flowing to the liver, which is beneficial for liver repair. In fact, having hepatitis B is not, and patients should believe that they can overcome the disease. As long as treatment is timely in the early stages, the chances of controlling the condition and recovering are very high.
