Patient's question:
Previously, when checked at the hospital, it was diagnosed as hepatitis B, and the doctor said there was nothing wrong, prescribing some medication. Later, I had two follow-up tests, and the results also showed nothing was wrong. Recently, my friends have seen me and said I've lost weight. I used to weigh 160 pounds and now I weigh 138 pounds. Should I go to the hospital for a check-up?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to go to the hospital for hepatitis B surface antigen, antibody, e antigen, e antibody, and DNA tests. One of the symptoms of hepatitis B is weight loss. If the test results show hepatitis B, timely treatment is necessary to prevent it from progressing to liver cirrhosis or liver cancer, as this clinical probability is relatively high. It is essential to pay attention. Compared to Western medicine treatment, traditional Chinese medicine is more effective, has no side effects on the liver, and is a good choice. Friends with hepatitis B should always maintain an optimistic attitude and face it with a positive mindset. Only in this way can they boost their confidence in combating hepatitis B and believe that they can recover.
