Patient's question:
I have a colleague who usually dislikes drinking beer and smoking. One day, his body showed red lights, and when he went to the hospital for a check-up, he was diagnosed with fatty liver disease. Is fatty liver disease a very serious illness?Doctor's answer:
Nausea and vomiting are common symptoms in the middle and late stages of fatty liver disease. If fatty liver is accompanied by liver function damage, it may also present with symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, aversion to greasy food, and upper abdominal pain. Heartburn is often a precursor to dry vomiting but can also occur alone, primarily manifesting as a special discomfort in the upper abdomen, often accompanied by dizziness, drooling, slow pulse, and low blood pressure. Patients with fatty liver can, while understanding professional treatment, use folk remedies as supplementary treatment in daily life. They should also maintain a proper diet in their daily meals to avoid stimulating foods.
