"Say, 'Why did this man get cirrhosis?' Don't worry, this will take you to understand medical knowledge through a clinical example.

The doctor held the medical record and looked at Uncle Simon who was lying on the hospital bed, with a little helplessness on his face。 Uncle Simon is only 20 years old this year, which is the age when he should enjoy Qingfu, usually works as a driver in a logistics company, and has been driving a business for more than 0 years.

Life is very good, but the body has plummeted in the past few years.Today, because he always felt that his stomach was swollen and his face was yellow, his family rushed him to the hospital, and the result was a check - liver cirrhosis.

Uncle Simon's wife, ZhangauntAs soon as I heard the news, I almost didn't stand firm, and asked with tears in my voice: "Doctor, what's going on with this cirrhosis?" Our old West usually doesn't have any major problems except for drinking some wine, why did it get like this? ”

The doctor sighed, put down the pen in his hand, and said, "Zhang."auntAh, cirrhosis is not a matter of one or two days, and the usual habits account for the majority. In fact, this cirrhosis is not just because of 'drink a little wine'. ”

While looking through Uncle Simon's examination report, the doctor explained lightly, "Long-term drinking is a big blow to the liver. Alcohol is basically processed by the liver, which can add a lot of burden to the liver.Drinking alcohol every day, liver cells have to deal with this alcohol, and over time, liver cells will not be able to stand it, and will begin to slowly necrosis, and liver function will decline little by little, and finally it may develop into cirrhosis。 ”

Uncle Simon's son, who had been standing silently beside him, couldn't help but ask, "Then if you don't drink alcohol, you won't get cirrhosis, right?" ”

Behind cirrhosis, many times it is those inconspicuous hepatitis that are at work.While sorting out Uncle Simon's examination report, the doctor explained that if hepatitis B and hepatitis C are left untreated and uncontrolled in the early stage, the liver can be damaged over time, and finally lead to liver cirrhosis.

And, as you know, the spread of hepatitis B virus in our country is still quite common, and many people don't have any symptoms at first, so they don't take it seriously, and when they really understand, their liver has been hurt a lot.

sheetauntWorriedly, he asked, "Is that the previous hepatitis not completely cured?" ”

The doctor nodded in confirmation of her conjecture: "It is indeed possible that the damage to the liver from hepatitis accumulates slowly."In addition, Lao Xi usually drinks alcohol, stays up late, and eats irregularly, which may accelerate the transition from hepatitis to cirrhosis。 ”

"One more thing, don't forget about fatty liver.Now that everyone's living conditions are better, eating greasy and moving less, fatty liver may develop at a young age。 Fatty liver seems to be harmless, but if it is not well controlled, it is also a fast train road to cirrhosis. ”

沒控制好的脂肪肝，大約有五分之一的人在十年內就會發展成肝硬化。這不，現在不僅僅是喝酒的人，很多平時不怎麼動的人也有這風險。

Uncle Simon's daughter frowned and couldn't help asking, "Then how to prevent fatty liver?" ”

The doctor smiled: "It's very simple,Eat less oily foods, control body weight, and exercise more。 Nowadays, many people have a high-fat, high-calorie diet, especially the prevalence of fast food culture, many people are busy and eat something to fill their stomachs, and over time, the fat in the liver accumulates more and more, and finally develops into fatty liver. ”

sheetauntsighed: "It turns out that these small problems can become big problems in the end." ”

The doctor nodded and said, "There are often no obvious symptoms of early liver damage, and by the time there is an uncomfortable feeling, the problem is often more serious. ”

Uncle Simon's son suddenly remembered something and asked, "Can cirrhosis be cured?" ”

"Look, although liver cirrhosis can't be reversed, it can still be controlled if it is discovered early." The doctor adjusted the documents on the table and explained to Uncle Simon, "Your condition is quite moderate, we need to use medication to stabilize it, and at the same time we have to adjust our lifestyle。 ”

"90% of liver cancer patients have cirrhosis before. Therefore, after the diagnosis of liver cirrhosis, it is particularly important to regularly review and monitor the changes in liver function. ”

sheetauntHurriedly interjected: "Then can he still drink in the future?" ”

The doctor shook his head and smiled: "Friends with cirrhosis of the liver are better not to touch alcohol, even if it is a small drink, it is harmful to the liver。 In Uncle Simon's case, the first step is to quit drinking. Then the diet should be lighter, less oily, and eat more vegetables and fruits. ”

"Also, patients with cirrhosis should avoid being too tired and maintain a good routine. The liver is responsible for detoxification, and when the body is tired, the liver is stressed. ”

At this point in the story, it is actually a reminder to everyone that many health problems are the accumulation of daily small habits. Cirrhosis may seem scary, but if we pay attention to our lifestyle, healthy eating habits and moderate exercise, we can effectively prevent the disease from happening. So, don't wait for your liver to send out the "warning signals" before you regret it.
