Patient's question:
My wife is a strong woman. She has a lot of work banquets, often going out to eat and drink heavily. She can smoke and drink beer too, and even frequently stays up all night playing mahjong. Recently, she has been feeling unwell and had a thorough medical check-up, which revealed that she has severe fatty liver.Doctor's answer:
Severe fatty liver requires attention to diet and exercise in addition to medication, and liver-protecting and lipid-lowering drugs should be used together. Since fatty liver cannot be taken lightly, it is essential to detect and treat it early. The treatment of fatty liver should start with dietary control, avoiding overeating and binge eating, eating only 90% full per meal. The principle should be weight loss, paying attention to the proper combination of dietary nutrition, advocating a high-protein, low-sugar, low-fat diet, avoiding or limiting animal fat and sweets, refusing alcohol, and eating more vegetables. In addition, during the treatment of fatty liver, in addition to timely treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also particularly important. The patient must always maintain a cheerful mood and eat properly to avoid unnecessary impacts on the complete recovery of fatty liver.
