is fatty liver curable - #19483

Divya

I am feeling really lost and worried about my health lately. My doctor just told me I have fatty liver, and honestly, I had no idea what that even meant at first. I've been feeling really sluggish and having some discomfort in my upper belly, which led me to get some tests done. When they said I have fatty liver, I just thought, "Is fatty liver curable?" like can I actually make this go away? I mean, does it require crazy diets or is it just about cutting out alcohol and exercising more? I've heard stories from people saying they managed to reverse it, but I'm unsure if that applies to me. Like, is fatty liver curable for everyone, or does it depend on how far gone it is? I'm trying to eat better – lots of veggies and cutting back on sweets, but will that actually help? What about medications? Do I need to be worried about long-term effects? I feel stuck, especially since I've read contrasting info online, and it's just confusing. Please help! Is fatty liver curable or is this something I’ll have to deal with long term?
