Gastroenterologist,  's  Response
Hello. Thanks for putting your query in HCM.

I can understand your concerns.

This size of liver suggest it is enlarged. And it is fatty liver

There are many causes of fatty liver disease like hepatitis B/ C, metabolic disorders, autoimmune disorder, alcohol or drug intake etc. So for this you require evaluation and then appropriate management. So I will suggest you to visit a gastroenterologist for evaluation.

However with the information provided by you it is due to overweight. So you need to reduce your weight by diet and exercise. Among the medcines take tablet udiliv 300mg tds and cap evion 400mg od. Both are available OTC. They are to be taken till liver size returns back to normal.

I hope I have answered your query and this will help you. If you have any further query I will be happy to answer that too. Remain in touch and get-well soon.
