Patient's question:
I have been experiencing lower right abdominal pain frequently, and after a thorough examination at the hospital, they said I have moderate fatty liver. I was very upset, but I still pay close attention to a healthy diet in my daily life and rarely eat high-fat foods. When I have a little free time, I go for some exercise. My work pressure is quite high, and I also smoke a lot, but other aspects are generally okay.Doctor's answer:
The main issue is still the disorder of lipid decomposition metabolism. First, high fat content in food, such as in large fish and meat, can cause chylomicrons in the blood to increase after consumption, which in turn increases triglycerides in the blood. Additionally, high-calorie foods may also lead to fatty liver. Furthermore, fat tissue can release some free fatty acids into the blood, especially during hunger or when experiencing mental trauma. These free fatty acids actually move from subcutaneous tissue to the liver, which may also be a cause of fatty liver. Fatty liver is a serious condition, and patients are advised to seek timely symptomatic treatment. It is hoped that patients can follow their doctors' advice for treatment. At the same time, dietary issues should be taken seriously, avoiding spicy and irritating foods to prevent worsening the condition.
