What are the symptoms of fatty liver? Is fatty liver serious?
If you have fatty liver disease, the symptoms are essentially the same as those of chronic hepatitis B and C, which include nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, aversion to oily foods, and fatigue. Additionally, patients with fatty liver disease may experience a sensation of swelling and pain in the liver area. At this point, further liver function tests such as measuring transaminase and bilirubin levels can be conducted, and performing a hepatobiliary ultrasound can definitively diagnose the condition. If the fatty liver is due to obesity, it is advisable to strictly control food intake and engage in active and reasonable exercise for weight loss, as fatty liver can be reversed. However, if the fatty liver is due to long-term excessive alcohol consumption, it is recommended to strictly quit smoking and drinking, combined with reasonable exercise and diet control, as fatty liver can also be reversed.
Could having blood in the stool for five years be rectal cancer?
If there has been blood in the stool for five years, whether it's colorectal cancer or not, this can only be confirmed through a colonoscopy. Furthermore, pathological tissue analysis and biopsy are necessary to make a definitive diagnosis. Pathological examination is the gold standard for diagnosing cancer. If cancerous changes are present, surgical treatment should be undertaken promptly to prevent the spread of cancer cells. If there are no malignant changes, symptomatic treatment measures can be adopted. Conditions such as chronic colitis, ulcerative colitis, or hemorrhoids could also cause blood in the stool.
Does superficial gastritis infected with Helicobacter pylori need treatment?
Superficial gastritis, after infection with Helicobacter pylori, requires treatment. If not actively symptomatic treated, the condition can worsen and frequently relapse, increasing the risk of malignancy. For superficial gastritis with Helicobacter pylori, initial treatment can involve natural therapies to control and eradicate Helicobacter pylori completely. Subsequently, based on individual clinical symptoms, treatment should focus on chronic superficial gastritis. Regular maintenance primarily involves being cautious with diet, avoiding spicy foods, and refraining from consuming food that is too cold, too sweet, too hard, or too acidic, as well as overly stimulating foods.
What to do about heart heat in late-stage pancreatic cancer?
In the late stages of pancreatic cancer, if you feel a burning sensation in the chest area, this is generally due to the spread of cancer cells causing this phenomenon. The spread of cancer cells can lead to an increase in body temperature, and even fever. There are also clinical manifestations such as palpitations, chest tightness, and increased heart rate. Treatment should be based on individual clinical symptoms, combined with the results of various examinations. Generally, in the late stages of pancreatic cancer, it is important to pay attention to replenishing the body's nutrition intravenously.
Can second stage cirrhosis be cured?
No form of cirrhosis can be cured, but it is possible to alleviate the condition, control it, and slow its progression through medication. Therefore, once diagnosed with cirrhosis, it is essential to understand the type of cirrhosis, which means making an accurate diagnosis. If it is hepatitis B or C related cirrhosis, active antiviral medication should be taken orally to quickly control and slow the progression of the disease; for alcoholic liver, it is advised to abstain from alcohol strictly; if the condition is severe and irreversible, liver transplant surgery could be considered.
Bile reflux gastritis vomiting is good or bad?
Bile reflux gastritis presents symptoms of nausea and vomiting, which are concerning. Normally, it manifests as dry mouth, bitter taste, poor appetite, acid reflux, belching, nausea, and hiccupping. Severe cases may lead to vomiting or cause stomach pain and a burning sensation behind the chest, among other clinical symptoms. If vomiting occurs, symptomatic treatment should be adopted to control the condition. Medication should be taken regularly according to the prescribed treatment plan. Additionally, it is important to avoid raw, cold, spicy, and irritating foods, and to abstain from alcohol.
Acute appendicitis clinical features
Acute appendicitis generally presents primarily as abdominal pain, specifically migratory pain to the lower right abdomen. Initially, the patient may experience stomach pain, which gradually shifts to pain in the lower right abdomen. Whether it is appendicitis needs to be diagnosed by a physical examination by a doctor, or an ultrasound of the appendix during the acute phase can be performed. If the appendix appears significantly swollen on the ultrasound, it can also confirm the diagnosis of acute appendicitis. Typically, the best treatment for acute appendicitis is surgery, especially if the condition is very severe and critical, as it may lead to perforation of the appendix and result in purulent peritonitis, which is very serious and life-threatening. Therefore, once diagnosed with acute appendicitis, it is best to be hospitalized for surgery.
Can people with reflux esophagitis drink alcohol occasionally?
People with reflux esophagitis should not drink alcohol, as it can irritate the stomach lining and exacerbate the symptoms of esophagitis, leading to frequent recurrences of the condition. If you have reflux esophagitis, you should primarily eat a bland diet, and avoid spicy and stimulating foods. It is also important to avoid alcohol, strong tea, coffee, and foods that are overly sweet, sour, spicy, too cold, or too hot. Normally, it is advisable to consume foods that are easy to digest and absorb and are generally light. Therefore, regular treatment is also crucial for those suffering from reflux esophagitis.
Can I eat sweet potatoes with esophagitis?
If esophagitis is not severe, it is okay to eat a moderate amount of sweet potatoes, as they are not highly irritating and do not significantly affect the esophagus. However, if the condition is more severe, it is necessary to control the intake of sweet potatoes. This is because sweet potatoes contain a large amount of starch, which can lead to bloating after consumption and can trigger symptoms such as indigestion. Additionally, nausea, vomiting, or acid reflux might occur. Sweet potatoes are sweet and can stimulate the excessive secretion of gastric acid, which not only causes nausea and vomiting but also affects the mucous membrane of the esophagus, potentially worsening the symptoms of esophagitis. Those with esophagitis should aim for a bland diet, eat smaller and more frequent meals, and chew slowly and thoroughly.
How to treat gallbladder inflammation pain in women?
Women with cholecystitis causing pain, when the condition is more severe, can appropriately consume some antispasmodic and analgesic medications, and simultaneously use antibiotics for treatment, to alleviate these symptoms of pain. Normally, a light diet should be maintained, avoiding overly greasy foods. Smoking and alcohol should be quit, spicy peppers should not be consumed, and it is best to avoid fried foods or barbecued items. Regular attention to developing good dietary and lifestyle habits is necessary to manage the condition and reduce the likelihood of recurrent cholecystitis.
