Patient's question:
My husband suffers from hepatitis B, specifically the "big three positive" type, and he has had it for over ten years. I have been brewing and giving him lingzhi tea for a period of time. During his check-up last year, it turned into the "small three positive" type. Our sexual life is not particularly frequent, but occasionally my husband mentions experiencing lower back pain again. His job is also quite demanding. Is the lower back pain caused by the hard work at his job or by sexual activity? Sometimes I want to help him with supplements, but considering he has hepatitis B, he feels that all supplements are too warming. How should he supplement appropriately? Please advise!Doctor's answer:
