Patient's question:
I am 38 years old. Recently, I feel that my liver is very tired. I haven't had much appetite, and at night, I always feel a sharp pain in my stomach. I went to a nearby hospital for a check-up and was told it was liver disease. They advised me to get injections. I would like to ask, what happens if I don't treat hepatitis B?Doctor's answer:
Having chronic hepatitis B with a positive is not necessarily an immediate need for treatment. If the patient's liver function is normal, there is no signs of cirrhosis on liver ultrasound, and liver histology shows no significant abnormalities, it may be considered as a carrier state. In this case, regular follow-up tests are recommended. However, if there are signs of disease progression, liver function abnormalities, or the recurrence of cirrhosis, then standardized antiviral treatment is necessary. Pay attention to rest, avoid staying up late, and quit smoking and drinking.
