Patient's question:
Sometimes there is intermittent pain in the liver area, but it's not severe. At times, there's a kind of indescribable numbness, and the ALT levels are high. In the past, antiviral treatment was administered, which later led to a persistent decrease in ALT levels. Later, antiviral treatment was stopped, and it always feels not very effective. Hello, esteemed doctors, is there any method to treat hepatitis (B)? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
At the current level of medical technology, it can only suppress the replication of the hepatitis B virus but cannot completely eliminate it from the body. It is recommended that you have your liver function and hepatitis B virus DNA quantified checked at a hospital to understand the replication status of the hepatitis B virus. If it is highly replicative, it is strongly advised that you receive antiviral treatment. Pay attention to your diet, quit smoking and drinking alcohol, and avoid overexertion. There are many treatment methods for liver disease, but since the symptoms of patients differ, the diagnostic methods used also vary. Therefore, it is necessary for patients to be diagnosed as soon as possible so that treatment can be tailored to their specific condition.
