Patient's question:
I have a history of smoking and drug use for over ten years. My children often urge me to drink less beer and smoke less, but I can't quit no matter how hard I try, and the addiction only gets stronger. I feel very uncomfortable if I don't smoke for a day. Recently, my cough has become particularly severe, and after going to the hospital, I was diagnosed with liver cirrhosis. What is the best way to treat liver cirrhosis?Doctor's answer:
Cirrhosis is a common chronic progressive liver disease in clinical diagnosis, characterized by diffuse liver damage caused by one or more different causes over a long period or repeatedly. In our country, the majority are post-hepatitis cirrhosis, with a small portion being alcoholic cirrhosis and schistosomiasis cirrhosis. In fact, it is not scary to have cirrhosis. Patients should believe that they can overcome the disease. As long as symptoms are detected in time and symptomatic treatment is provided, the chances of controlling the condition and recovering are very high.
