Is the life expectancy of hepatitis B shorter?

Patient's question:

I am a hepatitis B carrier. Recently, I have been very sad. I was told that my lifespan is much shorter than that of a normal person. My body is still okay, and I haven't felt any particular discomfort. I haven't felt nauseous either, and my appetite is good. I haven't been taking any medication. I am very sad.

Doctor's answer:

A person with hepatitis B virus carriage may experience worsening of their condition, which can lead to various complications of hepatitis B. These complications can be life-threatening and affect the lifespan of individuals with hepatitis B virus carriage. Carriers of the hepatitis B virus can work and live like normal people, and their lifespan is not much different from that of normal people. It is important to note that carriers of the hepatitis B virus should undergo regular follow-up tests. People with liver diseases can, while understanding professional treatment, use folk remedies as supplementary treatment in their daily lives. In daily dietary habits, it is essential to avoid excessive hunger or overeating, and never overindulge in food and drink.
