What Are the Folk Remedies for Treating Liver Cirrhosis and Ascites?
Generally, there is no concept of folk remedies for cirrhosis ascites. Cirrhosis ascites can be treated through dietary control, oral medication, infusion of human albumin injection, ascites puncture aspiration, and other methods, in order to achieve the purpose of alleviating the condition. Here are the specific steps:
1. Dietary Control
It is necessary to control the diet, strictly limit the intake of sodium, and eat less sodium-containing foods such as pickled vegetables, preserved meat, and seaweed, to avoid worsening the condition. At the same time, the amount of water intake should also be strictly controlled, and the daily water intake should be less than 1000ml.
2. Oral Medication
During this period, patients can also take furosemide tablets, hydrochlorothiazide tablets, spironolactone tablets and other drugs under the guidance of doctors, which can achieve diuretic effects and promote the excretion of ascites.
3. Infusion of Human Albumin Injection
During the oral medication period, infusion of human albumin injection can also be prescribed to increase the colloidal osmotic pressure and promote ascites absorption.
4. Ascites Puncture and Aspiration
For refractory ascites, ascites can be drained through abdominal puncture and drainage to alleviate the condition. However, it is necessary to timely supplement albumin after aspiration to avoid adverse effects on the body.
In addition, surgical treatment can also be used for improvement, such as transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS), which can improve ascites. If the condition is severe, it is recommended to seek medical treatment in a formal hospital.
