Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
Regarding your concern, I would explain that fatty liver could be the cause of discomfort in this region.
But, this is not a serious medical disorder.
I would just recommend to modify your diet (reduce sugar and fatty food and increase fibers). Spicy food and alcohol should be avoided too.
It is also important to lose some pounds. It will help improve your situation.
Consulting with a dietitian may be needed.
I would also advice follow up with abdominal ultrasound and liver function tests every 6 months to monitor your liver situation.
Hope to have been helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr.Iliri
