My father was diagnosed with Cirrhosis a year back. He had rupture in esophagal varcies and banding was done.
After few months we took endoscopy once again there is very small varcies and doctor said no need to worry now.
He said he is in child pugh stage A - Compensated, No ascites, No encephalopathy. He has perscribed lot of vitamin supplements. My father never consumes alcohol. The problem is he is not taking vitamin supplements. However he completly switched his life style. Eating healthy foods, fruits and 40 mins walking. His Haemoglobin went down to 5.5 when he had the rupture of varcies and now it recovered back to 12. He said he is feeling more healthy now. We are taking LFT ever 2 months . Docotor has suggested beta blockers to reduce portal hyper tension but whenever he takes the medicine he is having bleeding piles. We took necessary tests and confirmed that it's just piles and not the rectal varcies. After stop taking the medications and switching his life style 70% of the piles are cured .Please suggest whether change in life style would alone enough to manage Cirrhosis ?
