      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: Random allocation of patients will be based on simple randomization and with the help of accepted methods of random sequence production based on the web. The randomizer.org site will be used by filling in the information on the number of patients, two target groups, assigning an equal number in each group, and selecting non-duplicate numbers in this plan. Based on the random sequence numbers generated at the site, patients will be divided into two groups of 25 people under intervention receiving both lifestyle modification and Silymarin and the placebo  group, which will receive the lifestyle modification and a placebo, Blinding description: The allocation will be concealed by using opaque, sealed envelopes that were consecutively numbered. Apart from the project coordinator, the patients, attending physicians, staff involved in the surgery clinics, and members collecting and analyzing data will be blinded to the intervention allocation.</study_design>
