What should I do if I feel abdominal distension due to a liver cyst?
For patients with liver cysts, if abdominal distension occurs, it is important to promptly recheck with an ultrasound, which can better observe the size of the liver cysts. For larger liver cysts, which might cause abdominal distension and potentially liver function abnormalities, surgical removal is necessary to achieve therapeutic effects. Generally, liver cysts that are small in size do not cause noticeable discomfort and are mostly discovered during ultrasound examinations, requiring no special treatment other than regular ultrasound monitoring. For patients with larger liver cysts, it is crucial to pay close attention and perform surgical removal as early as possible to improve the prognosis.
Is inflammation of a liver cyst always accompanied by severe fever?
If a patient with a liver cyst experiences inflammation, and presents with a high fever indicating a relatively severe condition, it is crucial to start treatment with antibiotics to combat the infection as soon as possible. Only after the inflammation is under control can the condition be alleviated. If the inflammation is not controlled in time, it may develop into a liver abscess, which is a serious and critical condition, thus early treatment is crucial. Moreover, patients should also avoid spicy and irritating foods in their diet to reduce inflammatory irritation, which can better facilitate the recovery from the condition. The diet should include more protein-rich foods such as eggs, lean meats, and fish, which can provide the necessary energy and improve resistance, beneficial for the recovery of the condition.
