Patient's question:
My boyfriend was diagnosed with mild fatty liver disease, and my mother found out. She said this condition is quite complicated to treat and wants me to marry my boyfriend. But I'm not willing to. I don't know if having mild fatty liver disease is serious or if it will interfere with normal life. Can it be self-cured?Doctor's answer:
For fatty liver, neither should it be underestimated nor feared. If fatty liver is well-controlled through diet and the removal of the underlying causes, it can be completely restored. There are some drugs specifically designed for fatty liver, but medication is not the primary treatment. The key lies in lifestyle, environment, diet, and activity to control it. There are many causes of fatty liver, including alcoholic fatty liver, drug toxicity, malnutrition, etc., so treating the underlying cause is very important. For patients, if the condition of fatty liver is severe, timely symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication are necessary, otherwise it may lead to a recurrence of fatty liver. In addition, patients also need to maintain a positive mood to avoid worsening the condition.
