Is the life expectancy of hepatitis B shorter?

Patient's question:

In 2007, I found out I was an HBV carrier. I heard that people with HBV carriers have a shorter lifespan than normal people, and I felt a bit upset. Is the lifespan of HBV carriers really very short?

Doctor's answer:

Hepatitis B virus carrier is a sub-health state. Hepatitis B carriers, as long as the condition does not worsen, have the same lifespan as normal people. In addition to symptomatic treatment for liver disease patients, they also need to pay attention to maintaining a good mood in daily life. A positive mood is very helpful for the complete recovery of the disease. I hope the above answer can assist you. It is recommended to seek treatment in regular, larger hospitals and not to use unproven folk remedies.
