We all know that obese people have relatively poor physical constitution and are prone to obesity-type fatty liver, which can seriously affect the patient's appetite and liver function, so they need to receive treatment in time. You can read the content of the article for treatment methods so that you can choose the correct treatment method.

Treatment standards for obesity-related fatty liver:

First, let me introduce the symptoms of obesity-related fatty liver: loss of appetite, fatigue, pain in the liver area, enlarged liver, and spider nevi.

1. Eliminate the cause of the disease, that is, reduce weight, which is often called "weight loss"

2. Treatment of liver damage caused by fatty liver includes diet therapy, exercise therapy and drug therapy. People who are obese and have fatty liver should have a reasonable diet; the exercise should focus on abdominal exercises (such as abdominal massage, sit-ups, etc.), and they can also choose jogging, playing ball, swimming, etc. The purpose is to consume excess calories and lose weight.

3. The key points of diet for obesity-related fatty liver are: strengthen dietary management, strictly control total calorie intake, reduce the intake of fat, cholesterol, monosaccharides and disaccharides, ensure sufficient high-quality protein, increase the intake of dietary fiber and vitamins, and ensure balanced nutrition.

Misconceptions about obesity-related fatty liver:

1. For patients with obese fatty liver, isn't it better to lose weight as quickly as possible?

You should gradually lose weight at a rate of 2-4 kg per month. This will reduce the damage to your body caused by rapid weight loss and reduce the chance of rebound recurrence.

In addition, when losing weight, the energy intake from food decreases, the energy expenditure increases, and the insufficient energy is supplied by the fat stored in the body. The conversion of fat into energy must be completed through the liver, which is a transit station. Dieting, low energy supply, and losing weight too quickly and too drastically will consume a large amount of your own fat, causing too much fatty acids to enter the liver.

2. Is fatty liver unrelated to other diseases?

Obesity fatty liver is just one manifestation of metabolic syndrome, and is often accompanied by many diseases such as hyperlipidemia, diabetes, hypertension, coronary heart disease, hyperuricemia, gout, polycystic ovary syndrome, male infertility, female infertility, etc.

A small number of fatty livers can develop into cirrhosis, which has a certain chance of cancer.
