Patient's question:
Ascites, more than a year, splenomegaly leading to anemia, treated by both Chinese and Western medicine, no antiviral medication taken. What should be done in this situation?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for anemia first identifies the cause and then treats it accordingly. Additionally, it is recommended to consume more lean meat, pork liver, eggs, milk, fish, shrimp, shellfish, soybeans, tofu, and blood to digest iron and protein. It is also advisable to eat more vegetables and fruits to digest vitamin C, which enhances iron absorption. Severe anemia may require surgical treatment. For patients, if liver cirrhosis is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication should be administered, otherwise it may lead to a recurrence of liver cirrhosis. Additionally, patients need to maintain a proper diet and stay in a good mood.
