Suggest Treatment For Pain In Rib Cage In Patients With Fatty Liver?
I had fatty liver according to my ultrasound a year ago. I took liver vitamins but not regularly since then. I dont drink alcohol and i dont smoke. My husband ha hepatitis but i am negative with hepatitis. I do not have any diet and i weigh 56 kg with my height 145 cm. Now i am experiencing slight pain under my right rib cage and on my back opposite it. I also feel bloated and exhausted. What should i do? How is this fatty liver treated?

Hello
Fatty liver is reversible condition.Obesity and sedentary life style are its common causes.
Other causes are hepatitis,alcohol intake,altered lipid profile,medicines,auto immune causes etc.
I suggest latest ultrasound of abdomen and liver function test.
You may need to take few medicines after evaluation.
You may need to change your diet and life style.You should a go for brisk walk regularly.
Get well soon.
Take Care
