Dr. Shen Yonghua
Patients with early-stage cirrhosis should pay attention to the following:
1. Rest and diet: Ensure adequate rest and avoid strenuous exercise and overexertion. Choose easily digestible, nutrient-rich foods, especially those containing high-quality proteins and vitamins, such as fish, vegetables, and fruits. Avoid alcohol and irritating foods.
2. Emotional management: Maintain an optimistic attitude and avoid emotional fluctuations that may place additional stress on the liver.
3. Regular check-ups: Regular hospital visits for liver function tests, alpha-fetoprotein tests, ultrasound scans, and other examinations are necessary to monitor any changes in condition promptly.
4. Avoid inappropriate medication use: Do not misuse liver-protective drugs or other medications not recommended by a physician, to prevent additional strain on the liver.
