In today's fast-paced life, many people's eating habits and lifestyles have changed. This impacts their health. Poor eating habits, lack of exercise and increasing weight can lead to fatty liver, a condition characterized by excessive fat accumulation in the liver.

Initially, this disease doesn't show any specific symptoms. However, gradually, some changes in  the body begin to be felt. Symptoms may include persistent fatigue, a feeling of heaviness in the right side of the abdomen, and weight gain. Many of the symptoms are similar in men and women, but some may differ.

What do doctors say?
According to Dr. Anukalp Prakash, director of the gastroenterology department at C.K. Birla Hospital and an expert on stomach diseases, the risk of fatty liver in men can increase due to increased fat around the abdomen, diabetes, high blood cholesterol levels, and bad alcohol consumption habits.

According to doctors, if this disease is detected early, changes in diet and lifestyle can improve health. Therefore, it's important to consult a doctor promptly without ignoring any changes in your body.

Persistent fatigue without any reason
is a common symptom of fatty liver. Even after getting enough sleep, the body may feel low on energy and tired throughout the day. Many men ignore these symptoms, thinking they are due to work stress or aging. However, if you're constantly feeling tired; there could be other health reasons behind it.

Feeling of heaviness in the stomach:
Your liver is located in the upper right part of your stomach. As your fatty liver condition progresses, you may feel heaviness, pressure, or mild pain in this area. Some people feel full after eating, which can cause stomach discomfort. However, there may be other reasons for feeling heaviness in the stomach.

Rapid weight gain and
increased fat around the abdomen may be linked to fatty liver. According to Dr. Anukalp Prakash, weight gain and improper use of insulin increase the risk of fat accumulation in the liver. Insulin is a hormone that helps control blood sugar levels. If you are steadily gaining weight or have increased belly fat without any reason, you should not ignore it.

Some men with fatty liver may experience weakness and lethargy throughout the day
They may feel unmotivated or tired quickly. This can affect daily activities. Such symptoms may occur when the liver is impaired.

Loss of appetite
can also be associated with fatty liver. Some people experience nausea or loss of appetite after eating. During these times, the body may not be able to absorb enough food, and this can lead to weakness. If loss of appetite persists or is accompanied by other symptoms, do not ignore it. You should immediately consult a doctor and get tested.
