Patient's question:
My friend has hepatitis B surface antigen positive, his liver function is fluctuating and often feels tired.Doctor's answer:
Hepatitis B is not at all; it is preventable and treatable. The reason it is difficult to heal on its own is that the vast majority of hepatitis B patients have immune tolerance, meaning they do not produce an automatic immune response to the hepatitis B virus (HBV). This leads to the condition becoming chronic, and general medications are often ineffective in curing it. Therefore, adopting the correct treatment method is crucial to compel the body's immune system to generate an automatic immune response to the hepatitis B virus, which is the key to rapid recovery. In fact, having a liver disease is not either. Patients should believe in their ability to overcome the illness. As long as symptoms are detected early and treated accordingly, the chances of controlling the condition and achieving recovery are very high.
