Can people with hepatitis do strenuous exercise?

Patient's question:

I have had hepatitis B for a year now, and I have been taking medication. The doctor said my condition is stable. I used to love playing basketball, but I haven't played since getting sick. However, I feel very weak and want to do many activities, but sometimes I don't have the energy.

Doctor's answer:

It is possible to engage in activities, but vigorous exercise is not recommended. Moderate exercise can enhance the immune system and aid in recovery from illness. Patients with hepatitis should undergo regular follow-up examinations after discharge to monitor their condition and promptly address any issues.
Regarding diet, it should be low in fat and sugar, high in nutrients and vitamins, with balanced meals that are neither too hard nor too soft, and preferably light and easy to digest. For patients, if the hepatitis condition is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication are necessary. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of hepatitis. Additionally, patients should maintain a proper diet and stay in a positive mood. I hope the answers to these questions can help everyone. Thank you.
