Patient's question:
My father's liver has never been good. A few weeks ago, his liver started to hurt a bit, but he didn't pay much attention to it. In the past few days, it has become softer again, and this has led to ascites and a ruptured liver. We don't know what's going on, so we took him to see a doctor. However, the doctor just admitted him to the hospital. How should this be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hepatic cirrhosis can lead to severe gastric bleeding. It can be treated using a double-lumen balloon catheter for medication, or intravenous medication under the guidance of a physician, or through endoscopic medication in the emergency department. Patients with poor liver health should avoid drinking beer, strictly prohibit long-term overwork, get adequate sunlight exposure, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, avoid extreme emotions, engage in more aerobic breathing exercises, and do not frequently undergo excessive training.
