Patient's question:
Doctor, I am 42 years old this year. Due to business reasons, I have to drink some alcohol every day and smoke some cigarettes. Recently, I have felt some liver pain and have gained some weight. I have consulted a doctor, and the doctor said this might be fatty liver.Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of moderate fatty liver in gentlemen are relatively subtle and lack specificity, often being discovered incidentally during routine examinations. In clinical diagnosis, some patients with moderate fatty liver may exhibit symptoms such as poor appetite, fatigue, aversion to greasy foods, nausea, dry vomiting, abdominal pain, weight loss, tenderness in the liver region, and percussion pain. Additionally, due to excessive fat deposition and the stretching of liver ligaments, severe pain in the upper right abdomen accompanied by fever may occur. In such cases, early follow-up is necessary to confirm the diagnosis and provide timely symptomatic treatment.
