Patient's question:
My classmate's mother has recently noticed some paleness in her face and has also become somewhat thinner. The skin around her eyes is darker and duller than before she was sick. She occasionally experiences breast tenderness, fatigue, and easily gets tired. Her physical strength has declined, except for constipation. After taking some medication, her condition did not improve, so she went to the hospital for a thorough examination and was diagnosed with liver cirrhosis. Can liver cirrhosis be cured?Doctor's answer:
It is advisable to follow a high-fat and more easily absorbable diet. When liver function significantly declines and there are early signs of hepatic coma, the intake of protein should be appropriately controlled. Aim for regular, measured, and small, frequent meals. Promote a low-salt diet or a salt-free diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, as well as hard and cold foods. Avoid consuming excessively hot foods to prevent the breakdown of secondary neurons. Liver cirrhosis patients can use folk remedies as supplementary treatment alongside professional medical care, but they must strictly avoid extreme hunger or overeating in their daily diet and never indulge in excessive consumption.
