Patient's question:
My husband went to the hospital for a health check-up yesterday. Today, the doctor reviewed the report and said he has mild fatty liver and advised him to smoke less and drink less beer. However, my husband is usually quite healthy, with no discomfort, and he eats a lot. He is a bit overweight, weighing over 180 pounds, and he also loves smoking and drinking beer.Doctor's answer:
Hello, the clinical manifestations of fatty liver are diverse. Mild fatty liver may only cause fatigue, while most patients with fatty liver are overweight, making it harder to notice slight subjective symptoms. Moderate to severe fatty liver has symptoms similar to chronic hepatitis, such as poor appetite, fatigue, nausea, dry vomiting, weight loss, and dull pain in the liver area or upper right abdomen. It is best to follow a light diet, eat more vegetables and fruits, avoid smoking and drinking beer, and pay attention to the antioxidant effects of vitamin C and E to protect the liver.
