Patient's question:
I have an uncle who has been feeling unwell recently. He often experiences a slight pain in his liver, has no appetite, and has become quite thinner. The family is very worried, so yesterday they accompanied him to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said that my uncle has developed cirrhosis of the liver, and we all felt it was quite sudden. What causes cirrhosis of the liver?Doctor's answer:
Hepatocirrhosis can generally be caused by a variety of different diseases. The causes of cirrhosis vary by region, with hepatitis and viral hepatitis being the primary causes in China. It is important to drink plenty of water, eat fresh vegetables and fruits, increase physical activity, and avoid overeating as well as spicy and irritating foods to prevent drug-induced injury. In addition to receiving proper medical treatment for cirrhosis, patients also need to pay attention to nursing care, such as maintaining a light diet and avoiding spicy and irritating foods. At the same time, patients should also choose a reputable hospital for diagnosis to ensure good treatment outcomes.
