Patient's question:
My husband used to be a big eater and really disliked meat. His body was already slightly overweight, yet he never restrained himself. Recently, he noticed some discomfort in his lower right abdomen, with a vague pain. Yesterday, he had a thorough check-up at the hospital and was diagnosed with fatty liver. I don't know how to treat fatty liver. How should fatty liver be treated?Doctor's answer:
Fatty liver can progress to cirrhosis if it becomes severe and is not properly managed. Generally, an ultrasound can detect it in detail. It's recommended to reduce the intake of greasy foods and increase the consumption of whole grains. Regular exercise for 3 months can significantly alleviate the condition. If the blood lipid levels are also high, special attention is needed, and medication may be necessary. If blood lipid levels are not elevated, dietary control and increased exercise can help. There are no specific medications for fatty liver, so maintaining a balanced diet is key. In addition to treating fatty liver symptoms, patients should also focus on care aspects, such as following a light diet and staying active outdoors. At the same time, patients should pay attention to choosing a reputable hospital for treatment to ensure effective results.
