Patient's question:
My father's health has never been particularly good. He used to have some liver problems, and this year, he started noticing some spider-like moles on his face. My friend, who has seen my father, said these are symptoms of poor liver health and advised him to get a thorough check-up at the hospital. The results revealed that my father has hepatitis B, specifically the small positive form (HBeAg positive). How should one treat spider nevi associated with hepatitis B, the small positive form?Doctor's answer:
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) can not only combat the virus and stabilize liver disease symptoms in the treatment of hepatitis B with minor positive results but also enhance physical fitness, boost immunity, and counter fibrosis, thereby alleviating patients' concerns about the risk of developing cirrhosis. When TCM is combined with Western medicine for antiviral treatment, it can reduce efficacy but also achieve the effect of treating both the symptoms and the root cause. Especially in terms of fibrosis, traditional Chinese medicine shows excellent efficacy in combating fibrosis, making it undoubtedly the safest and most effective method for treating and preventing the progression of cirrhosis and liver fibrosis. Liver patients can, while understanding professional treatment, use dietary therapy as a complementary approach in their daily lives. They should maintain a balanced diet and avoid stimulating foods in their daily eating habits.
