Patient's question:
Patient: Female, 26 years old. Has had hepatitis B (minor positive) for five years. Currently has mild liver fibrosis. How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Currently, hepatitis B cannot be completely cured because there is no medication that can entirely eliminate the hepatitis B virus. If liver function is normal, treatment is generally not required. However, the following points must be noted:1. Due to the difficulty of antiviral medications to be effective, it is not advisable to blindly pursue a positive-to-negative conversion.
2. It is essential to achieve a balance between rest and follow-up.
3. Lowering personal immune function and antiviral capabilities to strive for the complete elimination of the hepatitis B virus and maintaining a state of non-recurrence.
4. Regular liver function tests at intervals.
5. Avoid drinking beer and smoking.
6. Do not consume foods with strong irritants.
7. Ensure deep sleep and adequate rest.
8. Maintain a positive mood.
For patients, if the liver disease condition is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment should be administered, and appropriate medications should be used.
