Patient's question:
Yesterday morning, when I went to the hospital for a thorough physical check-up, the results showed that my triglycerides were relatively high. The doctor advised me to pay more attention to my health at home but didn't prescribe any medication. I'm still quite concerned, so I wanted to ask if taking medication is necessary for high triglycerides.Doctor's answer:
High triglycerides may be related to your frequent consumption of greasy meat. These are high-fat foods that can cause hyperlipidemia. You should consult with your internal medicine department again at the hospital to have your blood lipid levels checked. If your blood lipids are very high, medication may be necessary. You should strictly control your diet, eat less fatty meat, fried, and grilled foods, and consume more vegetables and fruits. Engage in moderate exercise, lose weight, and have your blood lipids checked regularly.
