What is the extent to which hepatitis B can be cured?

Patient's question:

It can self-heal, of course we don't believe it, but some hospitals say we can only treat to the stage of minor hepatitis B. I want to ask, my husband has a very strong constitution and was infected 10 years ago. In this case, what level of treatment can a general patient achieve? What is the best level of treatment?

Doctor's answer:

A hepatitis B carrier with a positive HBsAg, normal liver function, and stable condition can generally maintain this stage with a good prognosis. Treatment is usually not required, as medications may be less effective at this stage. It is recommended to balance rest and activity. The treatment for a positive HBsAg primarily depends on liver function tests, viral load, and liver ultrasound results. It is important not to rely solely on symptoms, as the liver has a strong compensatory function, and minor damage may not be easily noticeable. By the time symptoms become apparent, the condition is often already severe. You should visit a hospital for examination and pay close attention to self-care, such as eating more fruits and vegetables and avoiding foods. It is hoped that positive HBsAg patients can receive professional treatment.
