 In simple language, the hair of the hair gets blown from the place where hair is brought from another part of the body and plant, the same process is called Hair Transplant.

 Or in other words, this is a surgical procedure in which the hair on the back of the head, which is called the donor area, is removed where the head is bald and applied on the way the tree is planted from one place to another.

Up to 3 thousand grafts are planted in one sitting and after one week another seating is given in which the remaining grafts are planted. This entire hair transplant process is performed by expert surgeons.

There are mainly two types of hair transplant. 

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) Method – In this method, by removing one unit from the donor area (where your hair is taken, whether from the head or beard), where you do not have hair in your head one by one. The entire process is called FUE method. 

Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) Method – In this technique of hair transplant, a long strip of hair is removed from the back of the head with the skins which contains many grafts and this strip is applied where there is no hair. The strip is removed from the tax and the place where stitches are applied. This process is called the FUT method.

Fatty liver disease can occur in three forms : –

• The first statuses, there is no inflammation in the liver. Fatty liver occurs without inflammation.

• Third, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, this is very common, people who do not consume alcohol or consume it in small amounts may have a problem with non-alcoholic fatty liver. But if it is not treated, it can be very dangerous.

 Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

•  Often non-alcoholic fatty liver disease does not initially show symptoms, but symptoms such as abdominal pain or fatigue may appear over time as fat accumulates in the liver. Overweight or obesity, alcoholism and diabetes, etc. can cause fatty liver.
• People with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) are also more likely to have heart disease. Treatment depends on its cause, but usually to limit the amount of fat increasing in the liver, improve your lifestyle, healthy diet, weight management, do not consume alcohol in excess. By doing this the problem of fatty liver can be reduced.

•  If you eat red meat, consume it once a month instead of the week.
•  Reduce overweight or obesity.
•  Exercise regularly.
•  Try to do at least 30 minutes of physical activity every day.
•  Also, based on your specific condition, prepare a plan for daily fat, cholesterol and protein intake from the doctor.

If fatty liver disease is detected in the beginning, then it can be controlled by treating it with a good diet, regular exercise and some medicines. Not every patient needs medicines. It can also be controlled with regular exercise or diet management. But before taking any medicine, take the advice of the doctor and patients suffering from fatty liver should also consult the doctor about their diet.
