Patient's question:
Hepatitis B is hereditary, and my ALT levels fluctuate. Currently, it's at 158. The cT test shows a tendency to develop angiomas, and there's an 11mm nodule in the liver segment 56s. Recently, I've been experiencing poor appetite and some back pain. Should I be taking antiviral medication? I'm hesitant because I'm afraid it will affect my life for the rest of my days. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
How hepatitis B patients need abdominal antiviral drugs depends on the presence or absence of hepatitis B virus copies and infectivity, as well as antibody titers. Currently, a mass has been found in the retroperitoneal region, and it is recommended to consult the gynecology department for follow-up. Surgical removal may be necessary if needed. Faced with the harm of hepatitis B, we should actively adopt treatment measures and avoid delaying medical consultation. If hepatitis B is not cured after prolonged treatment, it is important to promptly switch to an alternative treatment plan.
