Patient's question:
I have recently experienced upper right abdominal pain, loss of appetite, fatigue, weight loss, jaundice, etc., and unfortunately, I have developed alcoholic fatty liver disease. I want to know what are the treatment methods for fatty liver?Doctor's answer:
The cause of fatty liver is metabolic disorder, and in most cases, it is due to metabolic disorder. The primary treatment approach should focus 2/3 of the effort on the patient themselves, including dietary control and increased exercise. Dietary control involves eating less greasy food and appropriately controlling carbohydrates. Controlling weight is also crucial, as being overweight is ineffective in managing fatty liver. Therefore, patients should aim for a standard weight of height minus 100 kilograms. Changing lifestyle is important, as many fatty liver patients may have poor living habits, such as staying up late, snacking at night, or having irregular eating patterns, all of which should be avoided.
