Patient's question:
I am a middle school physical education teacher, and I have always maintained good physical fitness. I rarely get sick, and my lifestyle isn't too bad either. The only thing is that my dinner taste tends to be quite heavy. My mother-in-law has always said that this is not good, but because of personal preference, I have never changed it. Recently, during a check-up, I found out that I already have fatty liver.Doctor's answer:
Fatty liver is greatly related to personal dietary habits. Fatty liver is more common in the following types of people: obese individuals, excessive drinkers, high-fat diet consumers, sedentary individuals, patients with chronic liver disease, and middle-aged and elderly endocrine patients. Obesity, excessive alcohol consumption, and diabetes are the three main causes of fatty liver. Consuming a high-fat diet for a long period or eating large amounts of sugar, starches, and other carbohydrates for a long time leads to excessive fat production in the liver. For severe fatty liver patients, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible and follow the doctor's advice for early treatment. Avoid blindly relying on advertisements for medication, as this may worsen the condition.
