Patient's question:
My wife is a carrier of the hepatitis B virus, but her liver function is normal. Can carriers of the hepatitis B virus take long-acting birth control pills?Doctor's answer:
Regardless of which type of birth control pill is used, they are all hormone-based substances that need to be metabolized and inactivated by the liver. Therefore, people with poor liver function should not use them. For hepatitis B carriers who have good liver function, there is no difference in medication use compared to healthy individuals, so long-acting birth control pills can be used.In addition, during the treatment of liver disease, in addition to immediate medical intervention, the patient's dietary habits and psychological state are also particularly important. Patients must maintain a light diet and, at the same time, always keep a cheerful and optimistic mindset to avoid unnecessary interference in the complete recovery of liver disease.
