Suggest Treatment For Weight Loss And Liver Damage
Question: If I am showing signs of liver damage from alcohol, weight loss, increased breast size, etc. can I put off seeing a doctor if I don't drink?
Brief Answer:
I think you need to see a doctor
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.
I read your query and understand your concerns.
Increased breast size and weight loss could be sign of liver damage but they are often features of advanced liver damage rather than initiation. Considering this fact I think it will be better to see a doctor as there is good possibility of alcohol withdrawal and delirium which can be life threatening on some occasions.
I hope this helps you.
Thanks and regards.

I did not drink Sunday, Monday, or Tuesday. Wednesday and Thursday I had 3 beers each day. I have a job to finish the next two days and would plan on seeing a doctor on Monday. Does This affect your answer at all.
Brief Answer:
Unfortunately no
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for reverting back to me.
Since the signs mentioned of liver damage found in the advanced liver damage it is pertinent to say that medical intervention is required.
The only part which changes with information is risk of delirium which is quite low in compare to what I anticipated earlier.
I hope this helps you.
