Patient's question:
This year, I've always felt like I have no appetite for dinner. These days, work has also been busy, and I thought it was just because I was tired. Recently, I've been feeling nauseous and dry heaving at times. During this year's company physical, the results showed that I have fatty liver disease. My body has been so good lately, how could I get sick? What should I do?Doctor's answer:
First, identify the cause and take targeted measures. For example, long-term heavy drinkers should quit alcohol. Those with nutritional excess and obesity should strictly control their diet to restore physical health. Diabetic patients with fatty liver should actively and effectively control their blood sugar. Malnutrition-related fatty liver patients should appropriately enhance their nutrition, especially protein and vitamin intake. Fatty liver patients should drink more water, as drinking more water can increase the damage to the liver caused by toxins. When it is necessary, we should drink more water, especially in the early spring when it is cold and dry, making it easy to lack water. Drinking more water can help digest body fluids, increase blood circulation, and promote metabolism. The elimination of waste, refinement, and the excretion of waste products can increase the harm of decomposition metabolites and toxins to the liver.
