What is the best medicine for treating liver cysts?

Liver cyst is a relatively common type of cyst. We know that the liver is the largest organ in the human body and is responsible for many functions such as digestion and detoxification. For smaller cysts, patients sometimes have no autonomous symptoms, but if the cyst grows and develops rapidly, it can cause great harm to the patient. Conservative treatment methods can also be effective, such as using some folk remedies for treatment. Of course, for more serious cysts, surgery should be used for treatment.

Folk remedies for treating liver cysts:

1. Shamai ointment:

Liver Yin deficiency is more common in people who often stay up late, with symptoms such as thin body, red lips and eyes, dry mouth and frequent drinking, sweating during sleep, palpitations and insomnia, and red tongue with little coating. Use equal amounts of Adenophora adenophora, Ophiopogon japonicus, and Ziziphus jujuba seeds, add water and boil for more than 1 hour, filter the residue and keep the juice, then boil and concentrate it, add rock sugar and boil it into a flowable paste, and put it in the refrigerator after cooling for later use. Take 10 ml each time, 3 times a day.

2. The Chinese medicine Snake Lotus Cyst Recipe is very effective in treating liver cysts.

When the cyst grows to a certain size, it will compress the adjacent organs and cause bloating after eating, nausea, vomiting, and dull pain in the right upper abdomen. Because the cyst is filled with water, and water is a yin evil, it is necessary to warm the yang, just as the classics say: Patients with phlegm and fluid should be treated with warm medicines. Therefore, you can use warm tonic Chinese medicine to slowly warm and nourish the body, so that it can recover. The Chinese medicine [Snake Lotus Cyst Recipe] is very effective in treating liver cysts.

3. Fish eggs: This TCM remedy for the treatment of liver cysts is suitable for those with damp-heat in the liver and gallbladder, which is mostly caused by long-term drinking and those who like to eat fatty and sweet food. They have symptoms such as sallow complexion, fatigue and preference for lying down, bitter and greasy taste in the mouth, turbid urine, and thick yellow tongue coating. Use 30 grams of Houttuynia cordata and 5 grams of Artemisia capillaris to boil water, remove the residue and keep the juice, add a peeled duck egg, cook until it is done, then eat the egg and drink the soup, once a day.

The following surgical methods can be used according to specific conditions:

1. Liver resection;

2. Cyst excision;

3. Cyst fenestration or subtotal cystectomy;

4. Internal drainage of the cyst;

5. Cyst puncture, fluid extraction and sclerotherapy.

Surgery for polycystic liver disease: Unless the lesions are limited to one lobe of the liver and are accompanied by symptoms, or if malignant transformation is suspected, surgical treatment is generally not recommended. When individual cysts in polycystic liver disease are found to be growing rapidly, compressing adjacent organs, and seriously affecting the patient's daily life or cardiopulmonary function, repeated punctures and fluid extractions can be performed on the larger cysts. If the patient is in good general condition and has normal liver function, a fenestration surgery can be performed to relieve pressure, alleviate symptoms, and promote liver cell regeneration. Those who have the conditions can undergo liver transplantation to completely cure the disease.

Treatment of polycystic liver disease combined with polycystic kidney disease: The treatment of polycystic liver disease refers to the above plan. When polycystic kidney disease has no symptoms, kidney function can be observed and checked regularly. If symptoms occur (such as low back pain, hematuria, hypertension, renal failure, etc.), surgical treatment is required, including puncture or incision of the cyst to reduce cyst pressure, which can sometimes delay the progression of the disease and renal failure. Dialysis therapy can be performed if necessary. A radical cure requires a kidney transplant.
