"It's too sudden, why did you have cirrhosis? I didn't feel anything particularly uncomfortable. ”
Many friends' first reaction when they are diagnosed with cirrhosis is to be surprised, thinking that a serious condition like cirrhosis should not cause severe discomfort in the body. Why did I have cirrhosis without feeling anything?
In fact, liver cirrhosis is much more cunning than everyone thinks, it is extremely insidious, and when you feel strong discomfort, it may have progressed to decompensation! So are we really just that there is nothing it can do? Of course not, when hardening comes, it is inevitable that some "horses' feet" will be exposed! It's just that it's hard for everyone to associate them with "cirrhosis", which gives it an opportunity!
There are several signs that cirrhosis is coming.
1. Jaundice.
As the condition continues to deteriorate, the liver is damaged and its metabolic function will inevitably be abnormal. This includes the metabolism of bilirubin. Bilirubin is a metabolite produced by the breakdown of hemoglobin and has a yellow color.
The accumulation of inmetabolized bilirubin in the body will cause different degrees of yellowing of the sclera, urine, etc.! It is often referred to as "jaundice" in medicine.
2. Pain in the liver area.
Our liver itself does not have pain nerves, so it is difficult to feel pain.
When there is a dull pain in the liver area, it means that the problem is not simple, and the liver may have become enlarged, and the enlarged liver has pulled the liver capsule with painful nerves. In some cases, the slightest change in breathing or body position can lead to increased pain.
3. Bloating.
Why do people with liver disease experience bloating?
One is that the decline in liver function affects the spleen and stomach, and the peristalsis of the gastrointestinal tract is weakened.
The other is that the condition deteriorates and there is a serious complication of portal hypertension! The appearance of portal hypertension will affect the blood flow of the gastrointestinal tract and spleen, resulting in congestion, edema, and then varying degrees of bloating!
When these symptoms appear, everyone must be vigilant that liver cirrhosis is likely to have "come to the door"!
What should I do if I do have cirrhosis? ”
If it is diagnosed, it is indeed liver cirrhosis, you don't have to worry, the diagnosis and treatment of liver cirrhosis in traditional medicine in China has formed a complete system!
Advantages of cirrhosis in Chinese medicine.
Regarding liver cirrhosis, modern medicine currently has no specific drugs, mainly for liver cirrhosis and its complications to remove the spleen, ascites and other symptoms**.
China's traditional medicine has made up for this gap, and according to the pathogenesis and symptoms of liver cirrhosis, it is divided into blood stasis type and qi stagnation type.
According to different syndrome types, taking the first step of soothing the liver and strengthening the spleen, invigorating blood circulation and removing blood stasis, protecting the liver and lowering enzymes, can well improve the blood circulation in the liver, open up the blood circulation of the liver, slow down or block the progression of liver cirrhosis, and even realize the reversal of the liver from "hard" to "soft"!
Moreover, TCM treatment pays attention to "coordinating the whole body", for example, treating the liver is not only focusing on the liver, but also regulating the qi and blood of your whole body to a healthy state.
