Patient's question:
I really love eggs. Then a while ago, I did a thorough check and found out I have liver cysts. At the time, I forgot to ask the doctor if there were any dietary restrictions, and I'd like to consult if it's okay to eat eggs with liver cysts?Doctor's answer:
A liver cyst is a benign cyst. Generally, if the cyst is small and causes no symptoms, it does not need to be treated. You can eat eggs with a liver cyst, but do not eat too many—limit yourself to one or two per day—because eggs contain cholesterol, and eating too many may increase your fat levels. Consume more fresh fruits and vegetables, and avoid drinking beer. Regularly visit the hospital for follow-up checks. If you feel you frequently experience liver pain, you should pay attention. If the cyst is relatively large and causes controlled liver symptoms or leads to abnormal liver function, you can see a hepatobiliary surgeon for surgical treatment. A liver cyst can be consumed with eggs because eggs are a high-protein food and are beneficial for liver cells.
