Patient's question:
I am 38 years old and recently feel that my liver is very tired. I haven't had a good appetite for a long time, 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 can I treat ascites in the liver better?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the recurrence of symptoms of ascites in liver cirrhosis usually indicates that the disease has progressed to the middle or late stages. Treatment primarily focuses on symptomatic supportive care, such as diuretics, albumin infusion, liver protection, and stomach protection. It is recommended to be hospitalized for treatment, and efforts should also be made to prevent the recurrence of complications, such as esophageal variceal bleeding. It is advised to follow a light, liquid diet and avoid rough, fibrous foods.
