Cirrhosis abdominal distension may be caused by hepatic decompensation, ascites, and increased portal vein pressure. Patients should control the intake of protein and take diuretic drugs such as furosemide tablets for relief.
1. Hepatic hypoplasia: Cirrhosis interferes with the normal secretion and excretion of bile, leading to protein and fat absorption disorders, and therefore producing abdominal distension. Patients with cirrhosis should control the intake of protein and reduce the intake of fat.
2. Ascites: Cirrhosis patients have too much ascites in the abdominal cavity, which leads to abdominal distension. If the albumin is too low, human albumin needs to be transfused for treatment. At the same time, diuretic drugs such as furosemide tablets can be taken, but the dosage of the drugs should be adjusted according to the amount of urine.
3. Increased portal vein pressure: If the portal vein pressure increases, it is easy to cause gastrointestinal mucosal congestion, edema, affecting the normal peristaltic function of the gastrointestinal tract, which is easy to cause abdominal distension. Patients should eat less food that is easy to produce flatulence, and use Carvedilol tablets and other drugs to treat it.
Cirrhosis abdominal distension also has other possibilities, the patient should go to the hospital in time, to clarify the cause of the disease, follow the doctor’s instructions to use medication, pay attention not to self-medication, so as not to delay the condition.
