Patient's question:
I am 38 years old. Recently, I feel that my liver is very tired. I haven't had much appetite, and at night, I always feel a sharp pain in my stomach. I went to the nearby hospital for a check-up and was told it was liver disease. They advised me to get injections. What treatment methods should be adopted for alcoholic liver disease?Doctor's answer:
First, patients with alcoholic liver disease must be strictly prohibited from smoking and drinking alcohol to prevent the slowdown of harm to liver cells. Second, patients with alcoholic liver disease must maintain a light diet, eat more easily digestible foods, and consume more fresh vegetables and fruits to avoid spicy and irritating foods as well as foods high in fat. Third, patients with alcoholic liver disease must pay attention to their activities to promote the decomposition and metabolism of fats in the body and reduce the burden on the liver. Fifth, if patients with alcoholic liver disease experience a decrease in transaminase levels, they can take oral liver-protecting and enzyme-lowering medications.
