Patient's question:
I have an uncle next door who is only in his 40s this year, but because of liver area pain and abdominal swelling, he went to the hospital for a thorough examination. It was found that he suffers from ascites and liver cirrhosis. So, what are the treatments for ascites and liver cirrhosis?Doctor's answer:
Cirrhosis and ascites are chronic diseases that generally cannot be cured. A combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine is used to control symptoms and prolong life. It is necessary to consider visiting the liver disease department of a large, grade-A hospital in your local area for follow-up treatment. According to the clinical diagnosis and doctor's advice, standardized symptomatic treatment should be implemented. In terms of diet, it should be light, gentle, and small, frequent meals. Avoid smoking and alcohol, and prevent the intake of various stimulating foods.
