Is a liver abscess serious? How is it treated?
If acute abdomen and peritonitis caused by liver abscesses, rupture, hemorrhage, or pyothorax, etc., liver abscesses are relatively severe. In these cases, the first steps should be the use of adequate antibiotics for a sufficient course, along with systemic supportive therapy, then controlling the inflammation and promoting the absorption of the inflammation. For conditions like rupture of liver abscesses or severe damage to the liver lobes that results in loss of normal function, surgical removal may also be considered. Additionally, for large liver abscesses that have perforated, causing peritonitis, pyothorax, or cholangiogenic liver abscess, while using systemic antibiotics, actively incising and draining the abscess should be considered. (Please use medications and treatment under the guidance of a doctor.)
Can people with liver abscess eat chicken?
In principle, patients with liver abscess who are not allergic can consume some chicken soup, but it should be low in oil and salt, and lightly flavored. We can remove the chicken skin and then stew it lightly. Patients can drink small amounts of chicken soup multiple times to supplement their normal nutrition and enhance their immunity. Since a liver abscess is a consumptive disease, patients repeatedly experience high fevers, low fevers, sweating, and profuse sweating. They need foods that are high in protein and light to boost their immunity and promote a faster recovery from the disease.
Is hot compress good for mammary gland hyperplasia?
We first understand that breast hyperplasia is caused by endocrine hormonal imbalances due to various factors including neuroimmune responses and trace elements, leading to imbalances in bodily endocrine factors. This results in a disruption of the balance between estrogen and progesterone, with a decrease in progesterone secretion during the luteal phase and a relative increase in estrogen levels. This causes prolonged stimulation of breast tissue by estrogen, lacking the regulation and protective effects of progesterone, thus leading to the development of breast hyperplasia. Generally, hot compresses are not effective; instead, under the guidance of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) differentiation, Chinese herbal medicine can be used for adjustment. It's important to relax emotionally, engage in appropriate exercise, and pay attention to a balanced diet with a proper mix of meat and vegetables, ensuring nutritional balance. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, consume less honey, soybeans and soy products to reduce intake of natural estrogens, enhance physical exercise to boost immunity, and subsequently make regular hospital visits for check-ups. (The use of medication should be under the direction of a doctor)
Can I drink milk with a liver abscess?
Patients with liver abscess can drink milk if they are not allergic to it. The main symptoms of a liver abscess are abdominal pain and irregular high fever, and it is considered a consumptive disease. For such diseases, we must strengthen nutritional support treatment and adopt a digestible, high-protein diet to achieve the purpose of rapid improvement and cure of the disease. Milk is a food with relatively high protein content and is also easy to digest. If there is no milk allergy, patients with liver abscess can drink an appropriate amount of milk. About 250ml per day is beneficial for the rapid recovery of the liver abscess and for improving the body's immunity.
