Patient's question:
During this period, I have been quite busy with work and often have to work late at night. I feel extremely tired, not only because I can't sleep well every day but also because I always feel drowsy when I get up in the morning. I have no appetite for dinner, and even seeing greasy food makes me feel nauseous. My wife said my complexion looks very bad. Yesterday, I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, and the result was that I have hepatitis. What should I pay attention to when treating hepatitis?Doctor's answer:
Histological examination of the liver generally shows no obvious abnormalities. In simple terms, it means you are infected with hepatitis B, but there is no liver inflammation, making you a carrier of the virus. For hepatitis B carriers with normal liver function, treatment is not necessary. It is sufficient to maintain a healthy lifestyle and undergo regular medical check-ups. However, for hepatitis B carriers with abnormal liver function, active treatment is required. If left untreated, it can lead to liver cirrhosis or even liver cancer.Additionally, during the treatment of hepatitis, besides immediate medical intervention, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also crucial. It is essential to avoid excessive stress and anxiety to prevent unnecessary negative impacts on the complete recovery from hepatitis.
