Patient's question:
I am already 42 years old this year. Since I started my own business at the age of 25, everything has been smooth sailing. I often dine out with friends, in addition to attending work-related banquets, so I have noticeably gained weight in the past two years. A few days ago, a colleague had a medical check-up and was found to have mild fatty liver. So, I also got checked and discovered that I have it too. I think it might be because I have been so focused on making money over the years that I have neglected my own health.Doctor's answer:
This disease does not have obvious clinical diagnostic symptoms, and there are currently no very effective treatments. If it is mild fatty liver, there is no need to be overly concerned.1. Please pay attention to check whether you have diabetes, high blood lipids, obesity (exceeding the ideal weight), alcoholism, a high-fat diet, or a sedentary lifestyle. If any of these conditions exist, additional treatment or lifestyle changes should be implemented.
2. Medications such as VitE, VitC, and Salvia miltiorrhiza can be tested.
3. Dietary control, adequate physical activity, and abstinence from alcohol.
4. Regular follow-up examinations.
Patients with fatty liver can, while understanding symptomatic treatment, use dietary therapy as supplementary treatment in daily life. It is essential to avoid excessive hunger or fullness in daily eating habits and never overeat or binge on food.
