Patient's question:
I am 38 years old. Recently, I feel that my liver is very tired. I haven't had a good 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 an injection. Can licorice root help alleviate liver cysts?Doctor's answer:
What is currently being referred to is actually a traditional Chinese medicine. From a clinical diagnostic perspective, it cannot treat liver cysts. Liver cysts themselves do not necessarily need to be treated. If the size is relatively small, it can be carefully monitored, as long as it is below 5 centimeters, which may lead to poor blood circulation in the liver. In cases of liver obstruction and intestinal obstruction, surgery can be performed to puncture and drain. The main purpose is to prevent infection. The traditional Chinese medicine currently used helps regulate the immune system and protect the liver, providing certain assistance as a complementary treatment for liver cysts.
