Patient's question:
My wife has developed fatty liver, but she doesn't have many symptoms. It was discovered during a thorough check-up at her last health examination about a month ago. When she received the health report, she noticed this item listed. After some research, she felt that fatty liver didn't require much treatment, so she ignored it. However, over the past two days, my wife has been dry heaving after dinner, and I suspect it might be related to this condition. How should fatty liver be treated?Doctor's answer:
Fatty liver, also known as "rich man's disease," is mostly caused by excessive fat accumulation in the body due to overeating. Therefore, it is important to avoid fatty and greasy foods, such as pork fat, and to consume them in moderation. Regular exercise and a diet rich in fresh vegetables are also recommended. A light and balanced diet can help reduce the recurrence of fatty liver.There are several treatment methods for fatty liver, but since symptoms vary among patients, the diagnostic approach may differ. Therefore, patients need to undergo timely and thorough examination and diagnosis to receive appropriate treatment.
