Patient's question:
My uncle was diagnosed with liver disease in his earlier years. Due to inadequate treatment, it led to cirrhosis. Now, his body has developed high blood sugar, and diabetes has become quite serious. During a full-body check-up, the doctor said my uncle's spleen is very large and requires surgical removal. My aunt is very worried, so she asked me to consult about the feasibility of spleen removal. What should be done about the cirrhosis?Doctor's answer:
Based on the description of the condition, it is suspected that the patient has diabetes. The removal of the spleen may have a negative impact, so it is recommended that if the blood sugar is high, the surgery is not suitable. Therefore, it is essential to control the blood sugar to a relatively safe range before the surgery can be performed. Otherwise, it is necessary to carefully check the blood sugar levels before the surgery. In the case of the patient, splenectomy is possible, but it is important to control the blood sugar levels.For patients with liver cirrhosis, while understanding symptomatic treatment, they can use folk remedies as supplementary treatment in daily life. In daily dietary habits, it is necessary to have appropriate eating habits and avoid stimulating foods.
