Patient's question:
My mom has reached the age of menopause, and she has now stopped having her period. Her health isn't doing so well. She used to go off work, but now she's retired and doesn't move around much. She's gained about 20 pounds. Mom loves eating meat, and I'm worried she might get fatty liver disease or something.Doctor's answer:
Symptoms of Fatty Liver:1. Loss of appetite
Loss of appetite is one of the common symptoms of fatty liver. If you experience loss of appetite for a long time, in addition to suspecting gastritis or other diseases, you should also consider the possibility of fatty liver.
2. Nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain
Nausea, vomiting, and mild fatty liver accompanied by liver function damage may also cause discomfort such as nausea, aversion to grease, and upper abdominal fullness. Nausea often occurs alone.
3. When fatty liver disease is severe, it may lead to a series of complications, such as obesity, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, coronary heart disease, gout, tuberculosis, ulcerative colitis, ascites, lower limb edema, spider angiomas, gynecomastia, testicular atrophy, and premature ejaculation in men, as well as amenorrhea and infertility in women. For severe fatty liver patients, it is recommended to seek medical attention immediately.
