Liver cirrhosis is a type of chronic liver disease with a relatively high incidence rate, and there are no typical symptoms in the early stage, and it is generally found a little late.
To stop the worsening of cirrhosis, the following things should be done:
1. Pay attention to rest.
Patients with cirrhosis should pay attention to rest regardless of whether the hepatic ascites has resolved. Proper rest is conducive to the recovery of the disease, can reduce the burden on the liver, and must prevent the occurrence of hepatic ascites.
2. Quit smoking and drinking.
Because the formaldehyde produced by the metabolism of alcohol in wine is very harmful to the liver, and the liver function of patients with liver cirrhosis has been damaged.
3. Stick to a good attitude.
The liver is very closely related to the mental state. Poor mood, depression, anger and excitement can affect the function of the liver and accelerate the development of lesions. Establishing a strong will, being cheerful, cheering up, and eliminating the burden of the mind will be beneficial to the improvement of the condition.
4. **Primary disease.
Aggressively controlling the development of the primary disease and stabilizing the condition are effective means to avoid hepatic ascites.
5. Reduce sodium intake.
Sodium restriction does not only mean eating less salt, in addition to controlling the salty condiments (containing salt, monosodium glutamate, soy sauce, etc.) added to dishes, any food containing sodium salt, edible alkali or baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) is under control, such as cola, soft drinks, pickled products, pickles, etc.
6. Eat small meals often.
Patients with cirrhosis should take small meals in their diet to avoid a lot of food aggravating the burden on the digestive system. Patients should choose foods that are easy to digest, more fiber, less spicy, non-affecting and soft, so as to avoid affecting the digestive system, causing liver ascites** or causing other complications.
