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 a nearby hospital for a check-up and was told it was liver disease. They advised me to get injections. How is polycystic liver disease treated?Doctor's answer:
Polycystic Liver Surgery: Surgical intervention is generally not recommended unless the inflammation is confined to one lobe of the liver and is accompanied by symptoms, or if malignancy is suspected. When rapid growth of some cysts is detected, compressing adjacent organs and severely affecting the patient's daily life or cardiopulmonary function, repeated puncture and aspiration can be performed on larger cysts for polycystic liver disease. If the patient's overall condition is good and liver function is normal, fenestration drainage can also be performed to alleviate symptoms and promote liver cell regeneration. If conditions permit, liver transplantation can be carried out to completely cure this disease.
