Patient's question:
My husband really hates drinking beer. He often eats a lot of high-fat foods and drinks a lot of alcohol. In the past, he had an X-ray taken at the hospital, and the doctor said my husband has fatty liver and needs to quit smoking and drinking, as well as eating less high-fat food. But my husband completely ignores what the doctor said. He says that most people have fatty liver.Doctor's answer:
Hepatitis refers to the excessive accumulation of fat in the liver, primarily due to disruptions in the body's fat metabolism. It often has no obvious symptoms and can be difficult to detect. There is a high likelihood that it can progress to liver cirrhosis. It is usually discovered incidentally during a B examination. Some patients may experience reduced appetite, nausea, fatigue, pain in the liver region, abdominal pain, as well as a sense of fullness and pressure in the upper right abdomen. These symptoms are not specific and resemble those of general chronic gastritis or cholecystitis, making them often misdiagnosed or improperly treated. It is important to maintain a positive attitude and face the disease head-on. Only in this way can patients receive timely and appropriate treatment. Attention should be paid to dietary care, with a focus on light and nutritious foods, avoiding stimulating and cold foods. It is believed that this approach can help drive away fatty liver disease.
