Patient's question:
I am already 43 years old this year, and I have been suffering from fatty liver disease for five or six years. I have been taking medication regularly, but there has been no improvement at all. How should fatty liver disease be treated?Doctor's answer:
Fatty liver is usually caused by poor dietary and lifestyle habits, leading to the accumulation of excess fat in the liver. If fatty liver is mild, it generally does not affect liver function and does not require special treatment. Simply changing poor dietary and lifestyle habits is sufficient. However, if fatty liver progresses to moderate to severe stages, causing abnormal liver function, such as elevated transaminase levels or even discomfort symptoms, it is highly recommended to seek diagnosis and treatment at a reputable hospital to avoid delaying the condition and further worsening liver function. Under the guidance of a doctor, medication should be taken while also adjusting dietary and lifestyle habits to achieve the best treatment outcome.
