Patient's question:
From being diagnosed with hepatitis B minor positive during a school health check 10 years ago to now, it has been nearly a decade since the onset of the illness. Throughout this period, I have been undergoing medication treatment and paying close attention to my diet. However, due to the fluctuating condition of the disease, the medication treatment has been intermittent. I have had to visit the hospital for numerous check-ups every year. In the past two years, there have been signs of liver damage and softening.Doctor's answer:
One should focus on antiviral treatment. If the financial condition is good, additional antifibrotic drugs can be added. First, the purpose of treatment must be clarified. Currently, the goal of treating hepatitis B is to maximize the long-term suppression of HBV DNA copies, prevent the disease from progressing to liver cirrhosis, decompensated cirrhosis, end-stage liver disease, liver cancer, and terminal stages, reduce the patient's quality of life, and shorten the lifespan. In addition to timely liver disease treatment, patients also need to pay attention to nursing care, such as maintaining a light diet and engaging in outdoor activities. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a professional hospital for diagnosis to achieve good treatment effects.
