What are the signs and symptoms of cirrhosis

Symptoms and manifestations of the compensated phase of cirrhosis include loss of appetite and diarrhea. There will be bleeding gums, bleeding skin, gynecomastia, ascites, jaundice, rupture and bleeding of esophagogastric fundic varices in the decompensated stage. 1. Compensatory stage: Cirrhosis usually decreases liver function, the synthesis of digestive enzymes and other substances decreases, the digestion and absorption of food is poor, and loss of appetite may occur. The liver affects the secretion and excretion of bile, and diarrhea may occur after eating greasy food. 2. Loss of compensation stage: Cirrhosis causes a decrease in the synthesis of coagulation factors and other substances, which may result in bleeding gums and skin bleeding. Estrogen inactivation is reduced and gynecomastia may occur. Reduced synthesis of substances such as albumin and reduced vascular osmotic pressure may result in ascites. Hepatocellular damage with impaired conversion and excretion of bilirubin, etc., may result in jaundice. Portal hypertension may lead to splenomegaly, formation of collateral circulation, rupture and bleeding of esophagogastric fundic varices. Other symptoms may occur at different stages of the disease due to differences in the patient’s condition. Consult your doctor and do not blindly make your own judgment.
