Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling unwell. There's a slight, dull pain in my liver area. At first, I didn't pay much attention to it, thinking it was just because I've been drinking too much beer lately. So, I cut back on drinking for a while, but it didn't help much. Later, I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, and the doctor said it was hepatitis C.Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you mentioned, it is recommended that you undergo a thorough liver function test and a detailed liver ultrasound examination. If the liver function test is normal and the detailed liver ultrasound examination shows no liver fibrosis or structural inflammation, no treatment is necessary. The best preventive measure is to have a liver function test and a detailed liver ultrasound examination once a year. Maintain a positive mindset. While patients with hepatitis C can understand symptomatic treatment, they can also use dietary therapy as supplementary treatment in daily life. It is important to have a balanced diet and avoid stimulating foods in daily eating habits.
