Patient's question:
I have been diagnosed with hepatitis B for several months. In these months, I have been very sad and heartbroken every day. Troubled by this illness. I am truly sad because I really don't think it can be cured, and I remember how young I still am. The road ahead is so long, and I really don't want this illness to keep bothering me.Doctor's answer:
Hello. From a medical perspective, viral diseases such as hepatitis cannot be completely cured (i.e., the virus cannot be completely eliminated), but they can be clinically diagnosed as cured, meaning that except for the surface antibody, all three hepatitis B series tests are negative, and liver function is normal. Treatment is not necessary; it is sufficient to maintain good lifestyle habits and undergo regular medical check-ups. However, for hepatitis B carriers with abnormal liver function, active treatment must be implemented. If left untreated, it can lead to liver cirrhosis or even liver cancer. The daily treatment for hepatitis B patients primarily involves medication. Patients can take some oral medications and supplement them with vitamins, while also paying attention to self-care, proper diet, and avoiding cold foods. It is hoped that hepatitis B patients can recover as soon as possible!
