Patient's question:
I have a friend who, due to inadequate preventive measures against hepatitis B, was diagnosed with the disease a few weeks ago. I heard that this illness is contagious, so I haven't spent much time with him. Recently, he mentioned that he wants to seek treatment.Doctor's answer:
Hepatitis is generally incurable, and the only option is to suppress the progression of the disease. If liver function is normal, treatment is unnecessary, as it is ineffective and can harm the liver. With liver disease, one must pay attention to daily habits, avoid overexertion, not eat foods, not get angry, and rest regularly while regularly checking liver function. As for whether liver disease can be cured, it is currently impossible. Do not be too anxious. If well-controlled, it can be as good as normal, and some people may have little trouble for the rest of their lives. Be optimistic!
