Patient's question:
I recently got tested for hepatitis B, but I don't know how to treat this condition, so I want to ask how to treat hepatitis B? What should be noted for hepatitis B?Doctor's answer:
Hepatitis B patients must pay close attention to lifestyle adjustments and regular follow-up. First, it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Since liver cirrhosis and liver cancer are more common in men, one significant reason is the higher prevalence of alcoholism among men compared to women. Therefore, hepatitis B patients must completely abstain from alcohol, including alcoholic beverages. The diet should primarily consist of carbohydrates, with an emphasis on fresh vegetables and fruits, while avoiding moldy foods such as moldy peanuts, soybeans, and grains. Moldy foods contain large amounts of aflatoxin, which can easily lead to liver cancer. Second, hepatitis patients must undergo regular follow-up examinations. Patients with chronic hepatitis B should have regular check-ups regardless of whether they exhibit clinical symptoms.
