Does Intake Of Tamoxifen Cause Slightly Enlarged Liver?
My liver is slighty enlarge by 15.5 my doctor wants to take another test at a radology place it was done in his office just for measure he said they aren t always accurate. I am a 2x breast cancer survivor. Currently taking Tamoxifen a estrogen blocker. I do drink beer and wine not a lot. Sometimes 1-2 beers every few days or none at all. Sometimes daily but not heavy. I was wonder if the tamoxifen had something to do with it..My doctor said it could be nothing or my chelostrol which is only 216 he didn t think drinking was a concern. I just know I drink so I wondering. I just wanted to know some insight.

Dear ,
This is Dr. S. Tomar from healthcaremagic.com's medical team and I ll be your medical adviser for this question.
First of all thank you for sharing your concern with us and showing trust on us.
First of all I would recommend you to get a abdominal ultrasound done .
Now we come to tamoxifen . Yes , tamoxifen is related with increased visceral fat tissue deposition and fatty liver disease which is not a serious issue at all . With proper diet plan and exercise you can control the fatty liver . Get a Ultrasound done and send it here or can show to your GP for it's evaluation .
This is my initial response and discussion is open until you have any query or need further clarification.
I wish you good health .
sincerely,
Dr. Shardendu Tomar
