Patient's question:
My colleague dislikes drinking alcohol and usually dislikes inviting us to bars when there's nothing special going on in the evening. Lately, he has been complaining of abdominal pain and hasn't been eating much for dinner, showing little appetite. After a thorough check-up at the hospital, the doctor said my colleague has hepatitis. Other illnesses sometimes flare up, but will hepatitis too? Will hepatitis recur?Doctor's answer:
The capriciousness of weather can lead to a recurrence of immune system disorders in the human body, and immune dysfunction is a significant cause of liver disease. Be mindful not to catch a cold, as it may lead to a decline in immunity. Hepatitis can occur; factors such as poor rest, excessive exercise, alcohol consumption, emotional stress, colds, and intestinal inflammation can all increase the burden on a newly repaired liver, leading to the onset of hepatitis. When patients face the challenges of hepatitis, we should actively implement thorough examinations and treatments, avoiding hesitation to seek medical attention. If hepatitis does not improve with treatment, it is essential to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
