Patient's question:
My uncle really loves to drink beer and smokes heavily. This bad habit has lasted for thirty years. Recently, he has been feeling discomfort and nausea in his liver, even experiencing dry heaves. Due to long-term alcohol consumption, his liver has never been very healthy. Yesterday, he went to the hospital for a thorough examination and was diagnosed with fatty liver disease.Doctor's answer:
Fatty liver disease is divided into three degrees: mild, moderate, and severe. I don't know which degree of fatty liver you are asking about, but the most important thing for treatment is to adjust and stabilize through diet. The key is to eat a light diet and avoid drinking beer. Sufficient aerobic exercise should be used with caution, and medication should be used cautiously because there is currently no truly effective drug to cure fatty liver. Patients facing the harm of fatty liver should promptly implement the principle of symptomatic treatment and should not avoid seeking medical attention. If fatty liver does not improve with treatment, a new treatment plan should be adopted in a timely manner.
