Patient's question:
I have had severe fatty liver for 2 years. I have gone to the hospital many times, but it keeps recurring. I don't have much confidence anymore, and I don't know what to do either. Recently, I've had a recurrence of loss of appetite and general weakness, and sometimes my abdomen also aches slightly.Doctor's answer:
The methods for treating severe fatty liver include the following:1. Medication: To promote the reduction of fat in the liver, prevent liver cell necrosis, inflammation, and fibrosis. The treatment of fatty liver focuses on removing the underlying cause, controlling diet, increasing physical activity, and reducing weight. Medication serves only as an auxiliary measure and should not be overemphasized.
2. Enhanced Activity: Education on correcting unhealthy behaviors and improving self-care awareness to maintain a healthy weight and relatively normal levels of blood lipids and blood sugar. Activity therapy is particularly important for reducing fatty liver caused by obesity, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and other conditions.
3. Revised Diet to Correct Nutritional Imbalance: Adjusting the diet is a crucial aspect of fatty liver treatment.
