Patient's question:
Doctor, this is the situation. I am an HBV patient. In April of this year, I went to a private specialized hospital for treatment. The treatment method they used was what they called "throttling," in addition to taking one tablet of entecavir dispersible every night. This treatment has been going on for about 7 months. A few days ago, I went to the local People's Hospital for a blood test. I found that the virus in my body has not decreased, and I feel like I have been deceived. Now I am troubled: should I continue taking the medicine prescribed by that hospital, or can I go to a regular hospital for other medications?Doctor's answer:
Hepatitis B is a common viral infectious disease, caused by the body being infected with the hepatitis B virus. According to the situation you described, hepatitis B is relatively difficult to treat, and the cure rate will never be below 10%. Generally, if liver function is normal, treatment may not be necessary. In fact, it is not scary to have hepatitis B. Patients should believe that they can overcome the disease. As long as timely treatment is provided during the early stages, the chances of suppressing the condition and recovering are very high.
