Patient's question:
I wanted to test my liver function to check for hepatitis B, but the result came back with hepatitis C. I've never had a blood transfusion or had a tooth pulled, so how could I have gotten hepatitis C? The doctor said to check again in 2 months. Today, I picked up the test report to confirm it was hepatitis C.Doctor's answer:
Hello, regarding the treatment of hepatitis C, it is generally believed that hepatitis C is more difficult to treat than hepatitis B, and it also has a higher risk of progressing to cirrhosis. Western medicine, apart from interferon, has no effective treatment methods. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment does not consider the viral genotype. The theory of treating hepatitis C follows the principle of reinforcing the body's resistance and expelling pathogens, with the foundation of invigorating blood circulation and resolving blood stasis, nourishing yin and tonifying the kidneys. Compared to the treatment of hepatitis C and hepatitis B, there is no significant difference in therapeutic effects, but the stabilization period is much longer. Therefore, complete recovery from hepatitis C is also possible. If you need help, you can contact me. In fact, having hepatitis C is not, patients should believe that they can overcome the disease. As long as symptoms are detected in time and symptomatic treatment is provided, the chances of controlling the condition and recovering are very high.
