Patient's question:
I have been feeling nauseous frequently recently, also experiencing dizziness, and have a poor appetite. My complexion is also pale, and I often feel weak and lacking energy. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and was found to have a positive antibody for hepatitis C. The doctor recommended that I be hospitalized for treatment. I am seeking advice from experts.Doctor's answer:
Positive for hepatitis C antibody, indicating liver damage, and it is likely that hepatitis C has been transmitted. It is recommended to improve liver function, hepatitis C antibody, and hepatitis C RNA tests for a thorough examination. If hepatitis C is transmitted, Chinese herbal medicine can be used for treatment. Hepatitis C patients should avoid foods high in iron, such as animal liver, and avoid using iron cookware. Alcohol is a major taboo for liver disease, and hepatitis C patients should first abstain from alcohol. When ill, be cautious about using medications that are toxic to the liver. The diet should include less fat and sugar to reduce liver stress. Patients should primarily consume light, easily digestible foods, such as vegetables, fruits, soy products, and fish.
