She Thought It Was Holiday Stress, Until A Vacation, Antibiotics & Daily Habits Revealed Stage 1 Fatty Liver At 35
She Thought It Was Holiday Stress, Until A Vacation, Antibiotics & Daily Habits Revealed Stage 1 Fatty Liver At 35
Most liver disorders do not announce themselves with pain or urgency. Fatty liver disease, in particular, is known for progressing quietly, often without any clear warning signs. In its early stages, the body continues to function as usual, allowing people to go about their daily routines unaware that anything is amiss. For many, the first indication of the condition appears not through symptoms, but during a routine blood test.
This is why fatty liver is increasingly being diagnosed among urban, working adults who otherwise consider themselves healthy.
For Siya (name changed for anonymity), a Delhi-based media professional, the diagnosis came unexpectedly after returning from a week-long holiday in Thailand. “I was drinking and partying every day, eating all kinds of food, and not keeping track of my meal timings," she says. “It was a break from routine, and nothing about it felt alarming at the time."
The holiday ended, work resumed, and life returned to normal. There were no lingering aches or signs that something was wrong. When Siya went in for a routine blood check-up, the expectation was reassurance. Instead, the report flagged fatty liver, Stage 1.
“I was genuinely surprised," she says. “I didn't have any major symptoms. If anything, I felt the usual tiredness that comes with work and travel."
As is often the case, the diagnosis triggered a rush of questions. “Like any urban overthinker, I immediately began googling symptoms," Siya admits. Around the same time, she developed diarrhoea and fever, and her doctor put her on antibiotics. The overlap of events made it difficult to separate cause from coincidence.
“It seemed like the combination of alcohol, holiday food, exhaustion, and medication had all contributed to the diagnosis," she says.
Dr. Ankur Garg, Group Director and HOD – Liver Transplant, Paras Health, Gurugram, notes, “At the onset, the condition is normally asymptomatic, which is a hindrance to self-awareness. Most patients learn about the condition during a routine check-up. Mild signs, such as slightly high liver enzymes, often appear first, and ultrasounds usually done for another reason can reveal fat in the liver even before symptoms develop."
Doctors emphasise that this kind of convergence is not unusual. Fatty liver, especially in Stages 1 and 2, rarely produces noticeable symptoms. The liver continues to perform its functions even as fat begins to accumulate. Mild fatigue, digestive discomfort, or a general sense of sluggishness are often dismissed as stress or lifestyle-related, particularly among office-goers.
Dr. Garg adds, “Since the symptoms are not reliable in the initial stages, awareness of risk factors is crucial. People with excess weight, diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, regular alcohol use, and reduced physical activity should have regular screenings. Nonspecific complaints like weakness or a feeling of fullness in the upper abdomen may appear, but preventive healthcare—regular blood work, checkups, and follow-ups remains the key."
This silent progression is one reason fatty liver has become so common in urban settings. Long working hours, irregular meals, frequent social drinking, limited physical activity, and the assumption that serious health issues come later in life all play a role. By the time discomfort becomes persistent, the condition may have already advanced.
In Siya's case, the diagnosis came with an important reassurance. Stage 1 fatty liver is considered mild and manageable. “I knew it was still a situation I could control if I took it seriously," she says.
No medication was prescribed. Instead, the focus shifted to consistency and awareness. Siya cut down on alcohol, brought her meals back to predictable timings, and made her workouts regular again. “I didn't do anything extreme," she explains. “I just stopped treating my routine as optional."
Dr. Garg emphasises, “Maintaining a healthy liver can be done with simpler practices. First, regulate alcohol consumption reduce quantity and take abstinent days to give the liver a chance to recover. Second, follow a regular diet regular portions, less sugar and processed food, more vegetables, whole grains, and proteins help prevent fat accumulation. Third, exercise regularly even moderate activity like brisk walking or cycling can improve liver health. Small, consistent changes are often more effective long-term than extreme short-term measures."
Doctors agree that this approach is often enough when fatty liver is detected early. Weight management, regular exercise, reduced alcohol intake, and balanced eating patterns can allow the liver to recover. The challenge, they say, is not treatment but attention.
What stayed with Siya long after the initial shock was a deeper unease. “It made me wonder how common this really is among people like me," she says. “Do Stages 1 and 2 even show symptoms? And should we be worried when it's detected early?"
Medical experts say these questions are increasingly common. Fatty liver disease is no longer confined to older adults or those with obvious risk factors. It is now being seen in younger professionals who appear fit and active. The absence of pain or visible illness often delays diagnosis.
Dr. Garg concludes, “Even short episodes of heavy drinking, irregular meals, or common medications like antibiotics can temporarily impact the liver. This is usually reversible in healthy individuals if normal habits are restored. The liver is robust, but attention to lifestyle is critical for long-term health."
Early detection offers a crucial advantage. Identified at Stage 1 or 2, fatty liver can often be reversed through lifestyle changes alone. Ignored, it can continue to progress quietly.
Looking back, Siya does not describe the experience as frightening. “It felt more like a pause," she says. “A moment where I had to pay attention."
A routine holiday, a standard blood test, and a condition that had been developing silently. Siya's experience is a reminder that not all health warnings arrive loudly. Some arrive quietly, asking only to be noticed.
