Patient's question:
I have been diagnosed with hepatitis B, the small three positive type, which was six months ago... Now, I occasionally feel some discomfort in the liver area, especially when I'm hungry, there's a slight pain in the liver area! Moreover, my current job requires me to work night shifts, and due to work-related reasons and the communal dormitory, I don't have the conditions to take traditional Chinese medicine. Currently, I take ten liver-protecting tablets daily, divided into two doses, with five tablets each time! Is this okay? Could you give me some suggestions? Or provide many improved methods!Doctor's answer:
The liver-protecting tablets are designed to stabilize the metabolism of damaged liver cells and promote liver cell regeneration. However, from the perspective of the pathogenesis of hepatitis B, their value in liver protection and treatment is not significant, and they should not be used frequently. Traditional Chinese medicine can adopt Fu Gan Tang for treatment. It is a prepared herbal preparation that can be taken directly without decoction. Liver disease imposes a very significant impact on patients. Once symptoms are detected, it is important to seek medical attention promptly and pay close attention to self-care, such as eating more vegetables and fruits and avoiding stimulating foods. It is hoped that liver patients can receive professional treatment.
