Patient's question:
Sometimes I often feel liver pain, so I had an ultrasound examination. The results are as follows: The liver section is round in shape, not large in volume. The echo within the liver is slightly denser in the front half and slightly sparse and decreased in the back half. The arrangement is uneven. The internal biliary structures are still visible. The liver surface light band still exists. The examination suggests: The liver is slightly enlarged, and there is fatty liver.Doctor's answer:
Fatty liver is primarily caused by excessive fat accumulation in the liver, mainly something that should be paid attention to in terms of diet. It is essential to base your diet on low-fat, low-cholesterol foods and to eat light. Just adequate physical exercise is sufficient, and avoid overly intense workouts. At the same time, it is still necessary to control your weight. It is best to avoid taking medications, as excessive medication can cause liver damage. Because any medication must be metabolized and processed by the liver, it will inevitably cause some degree of liver damage. Foods that help lower cholesterol include: oats, millet, and other coarse grains; black sesame seeds, black fungus, kelp, hair algae, and green fresh vegetables like cauliflower. In addition to medication for treating fatty liver, patients also need to pay attention to their diet.
