Patient's question:
I am 38 years old. Recently, I feel that my liver is very tired. I haven't had a good appetite, and at night, I always feel a sharp pain in my stomach. I went to the nearby hospital for a check-up and was told it was liver disease. They advised me to get an injection. Could you please tell me what the symptoms of hepatitis B are?Doctor's answer:
The symptoms you mentioned, your husband must be experiencing problems with his liver function again. The specific type of hepatitis needs to be diagnosed through detailed medical examinations at the hospital. Blood tests should be conducted to check for hepatitis B, hepatitis C, hepatitis A, and other related conditions to determine which type of hepatitis he has. This will allow for early and appropriate treatment. Generally, acute hepatitis symptoms are more severe. If your husband has had poor liver function in the past, it is likely chronic hepatitis, and it needs to be diagnosed whether it is hepatitis B or hepatitis C. If it is hepatitis C, there is a possibility of improvement, which could be referred to as hepatitis B, but a complete recovery is generally not very likely.
