There are many patients with chronic liver disease in China. In addition to actively cooperating with doctors in treatment, patients should observe the following principles in life and mood regulation.
”Three disciplines”
1, do not drink alcohol, do not abuse alcohol

Therefore, it is very important and necessary for patients with chronic liver disease to prohibit and limit alcohol.
2.Do not abuse drugs
Drugs themselves can have certain side effects with long-term use, and can eventually produce serious conditions such as drug-related hepatitis, liver fibrosis and even cirrhosis.
Therefore, the treatment must go to the regular hospital, must be under the guidance of a specialist standardized medication, the principle of medication is: less but fine, to safe and effective shall prevail.
3.Do not overexert yourself
Excessive exertion will increase the burden on the vegetative nerves, and will also bring adverse effects on the endocrine system and immune system, resulting in a decrease in immunity.

”Eight notes”

4, away from the radiation

5.Keep your bowels open

If the stool does not work or if the stool is forced, the patient’s abdominal pressure increases and the muscle tension in the abdomen increases, which can aggravate the symptoms of patients with chronic liver disease, which patients with chronic liver disease have experienced.
6, lumbar abdominal warmth
Cold in the lumbar abdomen is one of the causes of aggravation of chronic liver disease patients, so chronic liver disease patients should always be alert to cold and moisture in the lumbar abdomen, and try not to stay sedentary in a dark and humid environment.
Do not rinse with cold water after sweating from labor or exercise, do not use electric fans to blow directly on the body to dissipate heat, indoor air conditioning temperature should not be too low.

Once the liver function is lost or liver cancer occurs, it is very difficult to treat and it is too late to regret!
