Patient's question:
When my colleague was off work, they were holding a hot teacup over their right liver area. All of us colleagues knew they had fatty liver disease, so we thought their condition might have worsened. My colleague mentioned that recently they've been feeling some discomfort and nausea in the lower right ribs. What should be done about discomfort in the liver area due to fatty liver disease?Doctor's answer:
Patients with fatty liver should establish healthy dietary habits, maintain regular three meals a day, and avoid excessive eating, snacking, late-night eating, rapid defecation, and an excessive pursuit of high-quality, high-calorie, and heavily seasoned foods to prevent excessive fat accumulation in the body. In the field of rehabilitation medicine, "activity therapy" plays a crucial role in the comprehensive evaluation and treatment of fatty liver. Proper implementation of scientific and standardized activity therapy is beneficial for consuming excess fat and reducing liver pressure. Insufficient activity can accelerate the progression of fatty liver disease. If fatty liver is not treated effectively for a long time, it can also lead to liver function damage due to increased liver pressure, resulting in a series of severe consequences such as liver dysfunction in the future.
