Should patients with hepatitis B be treated?

Patient's question:

I had a health check at my company yesterday, and surprisingly, they detected that I have hepatitis B, small three positive. Do I need treatment for having hepatitis B, small three positive?

Doctor's answer:

How should small three positive hepatitis B patients be treated? It needs to be evaluated comprehensively based on liver function tests and hepatitis B virus DNA tests for small three positive patients. Generally, small three positive cases are usually fine as long as they undergo regular check-ups, have normal liver function, and no detectable virus copies. So far, there is no specific medication that can cure it. It is essential to go to regular hospitals for follow-up tests on time. Rest is important, and avoid stimulating foods. A light diet is recommended. The daily treatment for liver disease patients is mainly symptomatic treatment. Patients can take some oral medications, supplement with vitamins, and maintain a regular schedule, avoiding alcohol.
