Patient's question:
Can hepatitis B be cured? I was diagnosed with hepatitis B six months ago, and I am currently taking liver-protecting medication. The virus is being completely cleared, but it has not been fully controlled yet. Can hepatitis B be cured?Doctor's answer:
Currently, there are no specific antiviral drugs available domestically or internationally. To say that complete recovery is guaranteed is something no one would dare to promise. The current goal of treating hepatitis B is to suppress viral replication, protect normal liver function, and prevent the recurrence of liver cirrhosis. If liver cirrhosis does not recur, hepatitis B would never pose significant harm to the body. Therefore, do not be misled by advertisements, as it may lead to spending money on treating incurable conditions. Traditional Chinese medicine has shown good efficacy. On one hand, it protects liver function, and on the other, it helps prevent the recurrence of liver cirrhosis. Traditional Chinese medicine primarily focuses on syndrome differentiation, and as long as the treatment is appropriate for the symptoms, it can be highly effective. In addition to medical treatment, patients with hepatitis B need to pay attention to maintaining a proper diet and ensuring proper digestion of nutrients in their daily lives.
