Patient's question:
I have noticed ascites for two years now, and I have developed a high-intensity hernia. I want to have surgery for the hernia. I would like to ask if my platelet count is only 4,000, can I still have surgery? What should I do about my liver disease and hernia?Doctor's answer:
Liver disease carries a relatively higher risk of surgical complications compared to hernia. With a platelet count of over 4,000, there may be a recurrence of poor coagulation mechanisms. It is recommended to consider this carefully. In addition to active treatment for liver disease, patients need to pay attention to maintaining deep sleep throughout their lives. Sufficient deep sleep is essential to help you recover quickly. Patients with liver disease also need to pay attention to their diet, such as eating a light diet and avoiding spicy and irritating foods.
