View allI've been diagnosed with grade 1 fatty liver and have multiple gallstones ranging from 3 to 8mm. What treatment options do I have and is surgery necessary for this condition? I'm a bit worried about whether lifestyle changes alone would be enough or if I need medical intervention.
For grade 1 fatty liver and gallstones, a combination of lifestyle changes and, potentially, medical intervention might be necessary. Lifestyle changes, including weight loss, a healthy diet, and exercise, can help improve fatty liver. For gallstones, if they cause symptoms, surgery to remove the gallbladder (cholecystectomy) is often recommended.
