Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling a bit like my digestion isn't working well, and after dinner, I feel bloated and very uncomfortable. Now, I don't even want to eat dinner anymore. After a thorough check-up at the hospital, I was diagnosed with fatty liver disease. What should I do about this? How can I take care of it?Doctor's answer:
Fatty liver is caused by a high-fat, high-calorie diet, which is often associated with frequent beer consumption and a lack of physical activity. Fatty liver can easily lead to conditions such as cirrhosis. Treatment primarily involves maintaining a low-fat, light diet, quitting smoking and alcohol, enhancing rest, and improving the stability of liver function. Avoid using medications indiscriminately to increase liver stress. Supplements like liver-protecting and liver-nourishing drugs can be used in conjunction. When patients face the effects of fatty liver, we should promptly implement symptomatic treatment principles and not avoid seeking medical attention. If fatty liver does not improve with treatment, it is important to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
