No Medicines Required In Early Stages: If the condition is identified in its initial stage, it can be treated without medication. However, once it progresses to a more advanced stage, it can pose serious health risks. Accumulation of fat in the liver can affect its ability to function properly, potentially leading to other severe health complications. That said, doctors believe that the condition can be controlled through natural methods. (News18 Telugu)
