Patient's question:
I noticed that my weight seems to be getting lighter. At least I've lost 10 or 20 jin. Besides the abdominal pain, I started suspecting it was a stomach problem and took some stomach medicine myself. It didn't improve, so I went to see a doctor. After a thorough examination, I learned it was fatty liver disease.Doctor's answer:
So far, Western medicine does not have effective comprehensive preventive and therapeutic drugs for fatty liver disease, and long-term regulatory treatment with traditional Chinese medicine is the best. Using professional drugs containing traditional Chinese medicine ingredients such as curcumin, like Ganbell, are all good options. Among traditional Chinese medicines, prepared polygonum multiflorum and hawthorn are the best. These two herbs can reduce blood lipids and prevent cholesterol from depositing in the liver. Western medicine often uses hepatocyte-protecting drugs, lipid-depleting agents, and antioxidants, such as vitamins B, C, and E, lecithin, ursodeoxycholic acid, silymarin, inosine, coenzyme A, reduced glutathione, taurine, carnitine lactate, Gan-Tai-Le, and certain lipid-lowering drugs (e.g., Gan-Zhi-Qing). Although the above drugs are numerous, most still require further confirmation of their efficacy and safety.
