I am a patient with liver cirrhosis and severe splenomegaly. Originally, I planned to undergo portal vein hepatic segment stent intervention at the First Hospital of Lanzhou University. After traveling here specifically to consult you, I began taking herbal medicine. Now, my abdominal discomfort has slightly eased, but I’m experiencing generalized itching, especially in my hands and feet. The skin in the affected areas shows no visible or tactile changes. I’ve now finished the herbal course—should I continue taking the medication?

Answer: It appears you’re allergic to a certain ingredient in the herbs. You can come back for a follow-up visit, and during your next treatment, the formula will include both components to address liver cirrhosis in its decompensated stage and ingredients to alleviate allergies, which should improve the therapeutic effect.
