Patient's question:
When I was a child, I had hepatitis B with a high level of HBsAg. About three or four years ago, my liver function was abnormal, and the virus level was high. Then I took medication, and my liver function returned to normal, as did the virus level. I took Ming Zheng Wei Zhi capsules for three years and am still taking them now. Recently, a check-up showed that I had become a small second positive for HBsAg. Is it good or bad? What exactly does it mean?Doctor's answer:
Hepatitis B is characterized by a positive surface antigen, e antigen, and core antibody, known as the "big three positive." It is essential to seek timely treatment to reduce the body's immune response. The surface antigen is naturally positive, so what's going on with yours? In fact, having the "big three positive" is not necessarily, and patients should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as treatment is administered promptly in the early stages, the chances of alleviating the condition and recovering are very high. It is important to maintain a positive mindset.
