Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know what's wrong, I'm in a lot of pain, and I feel completely exhausted all day. With no other choice, I went to the hospital and bought some medicine, but it didn't help at all. Later, with no other option, I had a thorough examination at the hospital and was diagnosed with hepatitis B. What should I do now with hepatitis B?Doctor's answer:
The hepatitis B virus is a hepatotropic virus that primarily resides within liver cells and damages them, leading to liver cell inflammation, suppuration, and fibrosis. Hepatitis B is categorized into acute and chronic forms. Currently, hepatitis B is an incurable disease, meaning it cannot be converted to a negative status. If there are no hepatitis symptoms or signs, and all liver function tests are normal, with continuous follow-up for more than three times within a year, and both serum ALT and AST are within the normal range, liver histology generally shows no significant abnormalities. In addition to receiving standard treatment for hepatitis B, patients also need to pay attention to nursing care, such as maintaining a light diet and avoiding spicy and irritating foods. At the same time, patients should also choose a reputable hospital for diagnosis to ensure a good treatment outcome.
