Patient's question:
I usually dislike spicy foods and enjoy drinking beer. A week ago, our company implemented a health check-up and discovered that I am a hepatitis B carrier. They told me that there is no need for treatment, but I think some companies may have gender discrimination against hepatitis B, so I want to seek treatment through Traditional Chinese Medicine. Can traditional Chinese medicine treat hepatitis B virus?Doctor's answer:
A hepatitis B carrier with normal liver function can temporarily avoid treatment. The harm caused by the hepatitis B virus to the human body is mainly due to autoimmune reactions, so it is recommended not to implement treatment at this time. Carriers of non-acute surface antigen generally do not require treatment. While treatment is not recommended, close monitoring of data and symptoms is necessary. The patients who truly need treatment are those with chronic hepatitis and cirrhosis. The impact of hepatitis B on patients is significant. Once symptoms are detected, it is important to seek medical attention promptly, while also paying close attention to dietary issues, focusing on light and nutritious foods. It is hoped that hepatitis B patients can receive professional treatment.
