Patient's question:
Doctor, I was recently diagnosed with chronic hepatitis B during a health check-up at the hospital. I haven't felt any discomfort in my body. There are no symptoms of discomfort in my liver. Do you need to take medication? How should I be treated after being diagnosed with chronic hepatitis B?Doctor's answer:
Hepatitis B, being the most common form of hepatitis, generally has a slower treatment and recovery process. Therefore, there is no need to be anxious or worried. Long-term oral administration of many antiviral medications, along with periodic liver function tests, is sufficient. If there is significant liver function damage, additional liver-protective medications may be necessary for treatment. Hepatitis B cannot be fully cured on its own, but long-term medication can effectively alleviate symptoms. Additionally, it is important to prevent transmission to others.
