Patient's question:
I am 26 years old and have chronic hepatitis B with a high viral load. I avoid greasy foods, and recently I've been feeling tired and lacking energy. There's a patch of yellow-brown spots on my left cheekbone. However, I can still eat dinner. Is this a symptom of further deterioration of hepatitis B?Doctor's answer:
The liver itself is responsible for excreting bile, and bile is used to break down fats into fatty acids, which the body can then metabolize. Therefore, consuming greasy foods puts pressure on the liver and can easily lead to fatty liver disease. It is recommended that you check your liver function to see if there are any abnormalities, and you should also undergo an ultrasound examination of the liver to confirm whether you have fatty liver disease. Your diet should be balanced with both meat and vegetables, and even if you don't have liver disease, you should not consume large amounts of greasy foods. For patients with chronic hepatitis B (), while understanding and receiving symptomatic treatment, you can use folk remedies as supplementary treatment. In daily life, it is important to maintain a proper diet and avoid foods.
