Fatty liver is a disease in which too much fat grows on the liver, which is caused by the improvement of people's living standards, eating more, and exercising less. There are still many patients with fatty liver nowadays. Some patients with fatty liver have not completed their fertility tasks yet. Do they know that fatty liver can affect pregnancy? Does severe fatty liver affect fertility?
The incidence rate of fatty liver is relatively high among modern people, especially some obese people, who are most likely to have fatty liver. Fatty liver is now a very important disease after viral hepatitis. If not treated in a timely manner and reversed, it may bring great harm to the body.
Generally speaking, mild to moderate fatty liver disease can lead to pregnancy and childbirth, as long as the patient's liver function and blood lipids are normal. Mild to moderate fatty liver disease does not have a significant impact on pregnancy. However, it should be noted that regular liver examinations are necessary after pregnancy to ensure the health of both mother and child. During pregnancy, it is important not to take liver care medications to avoid increasing the burden on the liver and causing health problems for both mother and child. At the same time, special attention should be paid to diet, avoiding foods that can burden the liver, in order to ensure the health of both mother and child.
However, it should be noted that severe fatty liver, even if there are no issues with liver function and blood lipids, cannot lead to pregnancy and childbirth. Severe fatty liver, if pregnant, can easily lead to placental fibrosis and multiple infarctions, problems with placental function, or fetal distress, which can easily cause maternal death. If a patient with severe fatty liver becomes pregnant, the secretion of estrogen will increase, causing fat accumulation in the liver and other organs, increasing the burden on the liver, leading to serious diseases such as hepatic encephalopathy, and endangering the mother's life safety.
