Patient's question:
I myself am not too fat either. I am a hepatitis B patient and want to ask what is the relationship between hepatitis B and gynecomastia in men.Doctor's answer:
This friend, if a hepatitis B patient's liver function continues to deteriorate, the liver's ability to inactivate estrogen decreases, which will lead to the continuous increase of estrogen in the body, resulting in gynecomastia in men. In addition, the recurrence of symptoms such as liver palm and spider angiomas is also related to abnormal liver function. The main drugs used by Western medicine to suppress hepatitis B virus include interferon, lamivudine, and adefovir dipivoxil. However, although these medications have a certain effect on hepatitis B virus copy indicators (Hbeag; HBV-DNA), they mainly produce drug resistance during treatment, hepatitis B virus mutation, significant side effects, a high rebound rate after negativity, and greater treatment difficulty.
