Does Fatty Liver Cause Stomach Aches And Back Ache?
Question: My Doctor said I have a fatty liver, I am overweight & I want to know does a fatty liver cause me to have stomach pains & be tired & not have much energy or have back aches?
Brief Answer:
Stomach pain not related to fatty liver...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for sharing your concern with XXXXXXX
Having back aches is related to being overweight and possible uro-genital problems. An urine analysis is needed together with abdominal ultrasound to exclude such problems.
Having stomach pains and feeling tired is not related to fatty liver but to:
- stomach problems (gastritis, GERD)
- gallbladder problems
I suggest to run :
- abdominal ultrasound
- upper endoscopy
- liver function tests
to further evaluate your health condition and to take proper treatment.
Hope it was of help!
