Patient's question:
Hepatitis B antiviral patients, who have been on antiviral treatment for two years, want to know how long it takes for such cases to progress to cirrhosis. How long do hepatitis B patients generally live?Doctor's answer:
Your problem is that you have hepatitis B virus infection, and you are very worried about it, fearing it may lead to cirrhosis again? Hepatitis B is contagious, but if you control it well, it will never lead to cirrhosis. If it keeps spreading aggressively, it may take 30 years to develop into cirrhosis and then liver cancer. Considering your age, it's nothing to worry about. You don't need to be concerned. Hepatitis B is a disease that is difficult to fully recover from. Patients should maintain a positive mindset and face it with optimism, as only this can boost their confidence in fighting hepatitis B and believe they can recover.
