Patient's question:
During the company's annual health check, it was found that I have mild fatty liver. I didn't take it seriously because many people say it's reversible—just stay active and diet moderately. But recently, I've noticed some discomfort in my liver area. Is there a connection between this discomfort and fatty liver?Doctor's answer:
Of course, there is a correlation. The symptoms of mild fatty liver can reappear as nausea, dry heaving, aversion to greasy foods, discomfort in the liver area (which may not be pain but rather a sense of fullness), and in severe cases, abnormal liver function tests, including abnormal super enzyme levels, jaundice in the eyes, skin, and urine. You don’t have any of these—only discomfort in the liver area, which is very mild. Don’t worry too much. Try to relax. Digestive system diseases are largely related to personal emotions, so try to relax. Engage in appropriate activity and avoid extreme dietary restrictions. Sincerely wish you a speedy recovery and good health!Patients with fatty liver can, while understanding proper medical treatment, use dietary therapy as a complementary treatment in their daily lives. In daily dietary habits, it is crucial to avoid both extreme hunger and overeating, and never indulge in binge eating.
