Patient's question:
My husband is in the business world and often has to attend banquets where he inevitably drinks beer. Recently, I've noticed his health is deteriorating. He frequently vomits in the bathroom at night, and his body has also become slightly overweight. Last week, I accompanied him to a health check-up, and the results indicated he has a bit of fatty liver.Doctor's answer:
The treatment of fatty liver includes etiological treatment, dietary control, exercise therapy, and medication. In terms of etiological treatment, it involves addressing the patient's primary disease and risk factors, such as weight loss, rational control of blood sugar and lipids, and correcting the patient's nutritional imbalance. In terms of diet and exercise, a balanced diet with low calories and low fat is recommended, along with moderate aerobic exercise of at least 150 minutes per week. Research also suggests that a weight loss of at least 3%-5% is necessary to improve the changes in fatty liver. In terms of medication, if there is insulin resistance or dyslipidemia, symptomatic treatment can be provided.
