Patient's question:
Liver function is normal. It is now cirrhosis. The spleen is reduced and there is ascites in the abdomen. There has been bleeding from the portal vein recently.Doctor's answer:
It is likely that it should be upper gastrointestinal bleeding, it could never be portal vein bleeding. Symptoms such as splenomegaly, portal hypertension, and ascites are complications of cirrhosis, and the patient is currently in the decompensated stage. The key issue is to treat the cirrhosis. In our outpatient clinic, we adopt traditional Chinese medicine treatment. If possible, spleen removal should be avoided. Firstly, it does not solve the problem even if the spleen is removed, and secondly, it may have some negative effects. For severe cirrhosis patients, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor's advice for timely treatment. Avoid changing new medications arbitrarily, otherwise, the therapeutic effect may be counterproductive.
