Patient's question:
For the past few days, I've been feeling extremely weak all over, with a particularly bloated stomach, and sometimes I even feel like vomiting. Today, I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, and the doctor said it's hepatitis B. I heard from a friend that hepatitis B is very difficult to heal on its own, and I'm very worried. Can hepatitis B be cured?Doctor's answer:
You need to have several detailed tests done at the hospital, including the quantitative test for hepatitis B surface antigen and antibody, HBV-DNA, liver ultrasound, and liver function tests. These are the main tests to focus on. Based on these test results, you can then decide on the next screening plan. If the liver function tests are normal and the liver ultrasound shows no abnormalities, you can temporarily proceed with clinical observation and retest in 2-3 months. If the liver function tests are abnormal, you will need to decide whether to start antiviral treatment for hepatitis B based on these results!
