What Is The Treatment For Cirrhosis, Ascites And Ruptured Varices?
My wife, 55, has cirrhosis and all of the symptoms that accompany it--yellow eyes, ascites, restless/irregular sleep, lethargy, bruising easily, bleeds profusely when cut, and she has had ruptured varices. A friend has talked her into taking hcg with the idea that it helps the body to heal. Should a person with these symptoms take hcg, not to lose weight, but to promote the healing process? Thank you.

Hi dear thanks for contacting HCM...
See you have cirrhosis....
But here you sleep disturbance and lethargy.
So it suggestive early encephalopathy changes....
Here serum ammonia estimation has to be done....
If high lactulose or neomycin need to be given....
Here for ascites diuretic and if need for portal hypertension beta blocker needed.
Low fat diet taken.
Green leafy salad more.
Sugar Cain juice and spinach juice useful.
Take one tsp crushed carom and cumin seed with water....
Avoid junk foods and non veg....
After recovery yes TIPSS like invasive procedure needed to decrease portal hypertension...
Ultimate treatment is transplantation...
Hope my suggestion will help you the most.
Consult doc and regular follow up will be beneficial to you....
