Patient's question:
I am 38 years old. Recently, I feel that my liver is very tired. I haven't had a good appetite. 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 asked me to get an injection. Can I eat garlic with liver cysts?Doctor's answer:
Hepatic cysts are relatively common benign inflammatory conditions. You can eat garlic. In terms of diet, it's mainly important not to consume spicy foods like chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, and star anise. Instead, focus on eating high-protein, high-vitamin, and easily digestible foods. The treatment of hepatic cysts depends largely on their size. Small cysts generally have little impact on health and can be monitored periodically. However, if the cysts are smaller than five centimeters, surgical consideration is recommended.
