The liver is one of the most important organs in the body, with amazing repairing and regenerative abilities. Even if up to 60% of the liver is removed for transplantation, the remaining 40% can regenerate within a few months and gradually return to normal function. However, behind the liver’s strength is also its weakness, especially when it is attacked by chronic liver inflammation or disease.
Common chronic liver diseases include viral hepatitis, non-alcoholic fatty liver, alcoholic liver disease, and hepatitis caused by drugs. The initial stage of the disease usually results in mild hepatitis without obvious symptoms. But the absence of symptoms does not mean no worries. When inflammation continues to severely damage liver cells, it can lead to liver fibrosis. Early liver fibrosis may have a chance to repair, but if the condition continues to worsen, it will progress to cirrhosis.
Don’t think that liver cirrhosis is only a disease exclusive to middle-aged and elderly people. A female patient in her thirties who suffered from hepatitis B was admitted to the hospital for treatment due to black stools and vomiting blood. After an initial endoscopy, she was found to have esophageal varices, one of the complications of cirrhosis. Further examination revealed that her liver had shrunk in size, reflecting a very advanced stage of cirrhosis. If it weren’t for her lack of awareness of liver protection and neglect of the importance of monitoring and treatment of hepatitis B, the condition would not have deteriorated to an irreversible point.
In fact, we should develop an attitude of being responsible for our own health from an early age, and establish good living and eating habits that “protect the liver”, including: paying attention to food safety, eating a balanced and light diet, avoiding alcohol, exercising moderately, using drugs cautiously, and getting vaccinations type and hepatitis B vaccines, and regular physical examinations. Also, maintain ideal body weight and avoid central obesity. A big belly is a common warning sign of fatty liver, because fat not only accumulates in the abdomen, but also accumulates in the liver, which is not good for liver health.
If you need to lose fat and lose weight, it is recommended to proceed step by step under the guidance of a doctor, because some methods of rapid weight loss may induce hepatitis. If the effect of reducing food intake and doing exercise is not satisfactory, the doctor may recommend gastric reduction surgery depending on the patient’s condition. This operation is more common in the West and is regarded as the ultimate solution for the treatment of fatty liver.
For those who do not want or are not suitable for surgery, consider taking herbal health supplements to enhance the effect of liver protection. Liver-protecting health products mainly play a greater role in patients with fatty liver, alcoholism, long-term fatigue or stress. It may help speed up liver repair and reduce its damage. However, for hepatitis B patients, these health products cannot completely cure the disease and can only be used as part of adjuvant treatment. People who have received liver transplants or are concerned regarding liver health can also take health care products to protect the liver on a daily basis. Finally, remember to check with your doctor before choosing and taking any health supplements to ensure that they are suitable for your physical condition.
