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 show no clinical symptoms, while moderate fatty liver may present with symptoms such as loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, and dull pain in the upper abdomen. There are no specific drugs for treating fatty liver, but dietary control 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, patients are advised to pay attention to their diet and maintain a positive mood in daily life to enhance their physical condition and speed up the recovery process.
