Patient's question:
My colleague has been feeling poor appetite and discomfort in the liver recently. They went to the hospital and the doctor said they had fatty liver. My colleague has always loved eating rich, fatty foods and dislikes eating many greasy things. They also love hot pot. Colleague Xiao Wang said it's related to these things.Doctor's answer:
Fatty liver generally has no specific symptoms, but sometimes it can cause a recurrence of decreased appetite, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and a sense of pressure or fullness in the upper right abdomen. These symptoms may be related to liver fat infiltration, liver cell damage, and liver enlargement. Fatty liver often co-occurs with cholecystitis and gallstones, and patients may experience more pronounced pain and discomfort in the upper right abdomen, as well as symptoms like acid reflux. A light and balanced diet with a well-balanced nutritional composition is recommended. The proportions of protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and minerals in food should always be maintained.
