Patient's question:
A male underwent a detailed ultrasound examination and was found to have fatty liver, although it occurs occasionally. He also experiences occasional mild pain on the right side of his stomach. What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
Mild fatty liver can have no clinical manifestations, while moderate fatty liver may present symptoms such as loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, and dull upper abdominal pain. There are no specific drugs for treating fatty liver, but dietary regulation and lifestyle adjustments can effectively help fatty liver recover completely. Common causes of fatty liver include obesity, malnutrition, diabetes, and alcohol consumption. In addition to corticosteroids, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet and maintain a positive mood in daily life to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
