Patient's question:
What are the symptoms of the worsening of chronic hepatitis B ()? My uncle is a chronic hepatitis B () patient, and recently he often has bleeding from the mouth and severe abdominal pain. Hello, is this a sign of further deterioration of chronic hepatitis B ()?Doctor's answer:
The condition of chronic hepatitis B becoming milder means poor liver function, an increase in viral copies, which ultimately leads to liver fibrosis and cirrhosis with ascites. Eventually, it can progress to hepatic coma. Since your uncle has already reached the stage of cirrhosis, it is necessary to go to the hospital for a detailed examination and active treatment.In addition to immediate medical treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also particularly important during the treatment for chronic hepatitis B. The patient must avoid excessive mental tension and worry to prevent unnecessary interference in the complete recovery from chronic hepatitis B.
