Patient's question:
Uncle was diagnosed with hepatitis in the hospital half a year ago. He has been taking medication at home, but over the past year, he has still experienced many discomforts. He feels constantly weak, his appetite has decreased significantly, and he often complains of bloating and pain in his stomach. After further diagnosis, the doctor said that Uncle's hepatitis has now progressed to chronic persistent hepatitis.Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that patients with chronic persistent hepatitis should undergo regular follow-up tests, including liver function tests, B-ultrasound, HBV-DNA, and more. Once abnormalities are detected, active treatment should be initiated. Additionally, while undergoing treatment, patients should pay attention to daily health care. The diet should consist of high-protein, vitamin-rich, low-fat, and easily digestible foods. The food categories should be diverse, with balanced nutritional adjustments. Avoid alcohol, spicy, greasy, and pickled foods, etc. Hepatitis is a disease that is difficult to fully recover from. Patients should maintain an optimistic mindset and face it with a positive attitude. Only in this way can they boost their confidence in combating hepatitis and believe that they will surely recover.
