Patient's question:
I am aware that I have had the hepatitis B virus for 3 years. During a thorough check-up in 2009, it was classified as minor positive (), and I have been taking some traditional Chinese medicine, but it hasn't improved. In 2010, another check-up revealed that it was classified as major positive (), although my liver function is normal. However, this condition has severely affected my work and life. Can hepatitis B major positive () be cured?Doctor's answer:
Currently, it is relatively difficult to cure hepatitis B with the "big three positive" condition. The overall goal of treating chronic hepatitis B is to maximize long-term suppression or complete elimination, reduce liver cell inflammation and abscess formation, slow down and prevent disease progression, and prevent or reduce the recurrence of liver decompensation, cirrhosis, HCC (hepatocellular carcinoma), and its complications, thereby improving quality of life and shortening the duration of life. For severe patients with the "big three positive" condition, it is recommended to seek medical attention immediately and follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment. Avoid blindly trusting and using advertised drugs for treatment, as this may worsen the condition.
