Patient's question:
Because of work, most of the time during the week I have to go out to banquets, and I always have to drink a lot of alcohol. Therefore, recently my body has been feeling quite uncomfortable. I went to the hospital for a detailed examination, and the doctor said I have moderate fatty liver. What are the treatments available?Doctor's answer:
Fatty liver can be adjusted by stabilizing the dietary structure to shorten the time it takes to develop into cirrhosis. The diet should be based on vegetables, increase the intake of lipid-rich foods, and prioritize lean meat for protein sources while minimizing red meat consumption. Meat refers to fish, chicken, etc., while red meat refers to beef, lamb, etc., which is best avoided. The liver is the body's detoxification organ, and almost all medications require the liver for detoxification. If taking medication only adds stress and toxicity to the liver, it's better to avoid medication if possible.There are many treatment methods for fatty liver, but since patients exhibit different symptoms, the treatment approaches vary accordingly. Therefore, it is recommended that patients seek early diagnosis and treatment upon noticing symptoms.
