There's no definitive cure for liver cirrhosis. It is a condition where healthy liver tissue is replaced by scar tissue, and this damage is irreversible. Stem cell therapy is still under research and clinical trials, but it is not yet considered a standard treatment for liver cirrhosis.

Is visible stomach pulse a sign of health concern?
I have noticed I can see my pulse in my stomach, and it’s worrying me. I have recently researched stuff about abdominal aortic aneurysms (because I have health anxiety) and I noticed people state that is one of the symptoms. I don’t have any other symptoms, and I know it’s normal to see your pulse in your stomach sometimes, but a lot of people say it’s visible if you’re skinny and have less abdominal fat. I’m not skinny and I’m wondering if it’s still normal? I’m really worried if it’s not.
Dr. Gaurav Gupta

an abdominal aortic aneurysm needs medical intervention, the condition itself should be carefully evaluated. If your symptoms worry you, please make an appointment with a vascular professional as soon as possible.
