Patient's question:
I went to the hospital a few days ago because I had some pain in my liver area and had a thorough examination. The result said it was fatty liver disease, which scared me at the time. I've always been in good health, you know. How should fatty liver disease be treated? Doctor, please help.Doctor's answer:
The treatment of fatty liver involves multiple aspects. It should target the underlying cause and implement comprehensive evaluation and treatment based on the patient's specific condition to be effective. Simple fatty liver is an early stage of the disease. If detected early and treated promptly, it can be completely restored to normal. Moreover, even if fatty liver progresses to fatty hepatitis and hepatic fibrosis, liver damage can still be reversed with active treatment. However, if left untreated, once it develops into cirrhosis, even active treatment may not restore the liver to normal. In addition to treating fatty liver, patients are advised to pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a positive mood to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
