Patient's question:
I am naturally quite overweight, and I also dislike drinking beer. It feels like I have to have a beer with every meal. If I don't, I feel like something is missing. Sometimes, pain reappears in my liver area. My family worries that I might develop alcoholic liver disease. But when I went to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor said I have fatty liver disease.Doctor's answer:
Chronic fatty liver disease is prone to hepatitis and cirrhosis. Fat accumulation in the liver constitutes fatty liver disease. For pure fatty liver disease, medication can only temporarily improve it, aside from side effects. The best method is to pay attention to self-care: maintain a light diet (flexibly manage without restricting food), eat at regular intervals and in appropriate quantities, engage in moderate exercise, ensure deep sleep, limit alcohol and reduce salt intake, persevere, and it takes at least a year to see effects. Avoid junk food and high-fat, high-calorie foods. Snacks and fresh fruits are recommended, but the key is persistence—persistence is the hardest part! In addition to timely treatment for fatty liver disease, patients should always maintain a positive attitude to face the disease. Only then can they reduce their immunity and strengthen their belief in combating the illness.
