Early fatty liver is not painful or itchy, patients may also have no symptoms, seemingly "mild", but it is an "invisible killer", not only affecting the liver, but also may destroy the system of the whole body, resulting in osteoporosis, hypertension, diabetes and other diseases.
How can we detect signs of liver damage as early as possible? In daily life, how can we nourish the liver and reverse the path of early fatty liver to cirrhosis and liver cancer?
1 Three major types, self-test fatty liver stage
The national-level famous old Chinese medicine doctor Guan Youbo Guan Lao has his own system and theory in the treatment of liver disease, proposing that early, middle and late fatty liver belong to different types of traditional Chinese medicine. You can test yourself for which stage of fatty liver you belong to by comparing the following symptoms.
(1) Early representative certificate type: wet turbid internal suspension certificate. It mainly presents with symptoms of swelling of the right flank ribs, and may also be accompanied by symptoms such as physical obesity, heavy body difficulties, fatigue, chest congestion, dizziness and nausea, reddish tongue, white and greasy moss, and slippery pulse strings.
(2) Medium-term representative certificate type: damp heat containment certificate. Symptoms of right flank swelling and pain may also be accompanied by nausea and vomiting, indigestion, jaundice, red tongue, lichen yellow, and the number of pulses or slips.
(3) Late representative type: sputum stasis mutual evidence. Symptoms of tingling of the right hypodynix or right hypochondria may also be accompanied by dark complexion, dark tongue, ecchymosis, lichen, slippery or astringent pulse strings.
