What are the differences between fatty liver and liver cysts?

Patient's question:

Doctor, hello. After giving birth, my body shape deteriorated rapidly. I didn't pay much attention to it, just loosened my belt and ate. As a result, I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, and the doctor said I have fatty liver disease. I was terrified. What is the difference between fatty liver disease and liver cysts?

Doctor's answer:

Fatty liver is generally mainly caused by obesity, high blood lipid levels, or long-term alcohol consumption leading to alcoholic liver disease. It can also be easily caused by these factors. In your case, it is likely that the fatty liver developed again due to postpartum neglect of your health and subsequent obesity. There is no need to worry about this. You should primarily focus on controlling your diet, increasing physical activity, losing weight, and then your fatty liver will naturally disappear.
