Is hepatitis easy to cure? Five misunderstandings about hepatitis treatment

Hepatitis is a relatively common liver disease. It is relatively difficult to treat. Patients should not only pay attention to the effects of treatment, but also strengthen good conditioning. Especially in the daily treatment process, never seek medical treatment indiscriminately. Regular treatment methods must be adopted. Once the treatment goes astray, it is easy to aggravate the symptoms of hepatitis and even induce the occurrence of malignant tumors.

Myth 1: If the positive index is high, treatment is necessary

Many people are found to have high positive hepatitis B virus markers during routine physical examinations, so they become extremely anxious and hope to be treated quickly. In fact, these people are merely asymptomatic carriers of the hepatitis B virus, which does not affect their normal study and work. According to Dr. Yang, 3/4 of hepatitis B virus carriers are in Asia, and the carrier rate among adults in my country is as high as 10%. The most common transmissions are close contact in daily life, blood products, blood transfusions, and mother-to-child transmission.

Myth 2: New and expensive drugs are good drugs

Many patients believe that only new and expensive drugs can cure serious diseases and that cheap products are not good. Once they learn that a new drug or imported drug has been released, they will try every possible means to try it. There have been many treatments, but with little effect. Most antiviral drugs are imported, and preliminary experiments or clinical studies are conducted abroad. Preliminary research results show that they are effective in treating hepatitis, but the long-term effects are still unknown. Many drugs have not yet been used on a large scale in clinical practice abroad, or their efficacy has not yet been recognized. Western antiviral medicines are effective in treating hepatitis in Europeans and Americans, but when used to treat hepatitis patients in my country, they are often ineffective and show obvious "acclimatization".

Myth 3: The goal of treatment is to “turn positive into negative”

Many patients believe that the fundamental purpose of treatment is to turn the viral indicators negative, that is, the so-called "big three positives" and "small three positives" all turn negative, and mistakenly believe that only when the viral indicators turn negative can hepatitis be considered cured. This misunderstanding has brought about many problems: first, patients look everywhere for a good prescription to turn the disease negative, but are often disappointed after taking the medicine, or occasionally one or two indicators turn negative, but the good times do not last long and the disease recurs. For some patients, after treatment, "big triple positive" was indeed transformed into "small triple positive". Logically, the condition should have improved, but the opposite was true and the condition further worsened. If this happens, it means that the negative conversion of the above-mentioned virus has brought about adverse consequences. Most of these negative conversions are caused by virus mutations. The forms of virus mutations are diverse, and the consequences of mutations are also quite complicated.

Myth 4: Folk remedies can cure serious illnesses

The idea of ​​using folk remedies to cure serious illnesses is quite common in my country. When encountering difficult and complicated diseases, there will always be people who will recommend using folk remedies. Most folk remedies come from the folks, and the creators may not all have legal qualifications as practicing physicians. The remedies sold are mostly kept secret, and the composition of the drugs is unknown. It is unknown whether they contain effective drugs for treating hepatitis. The folk remedy has not been reviewed by any drug regulatory department and has no approval number for use. Patients should not use it blindly without knowing the truth.

Myth 5: Hepatitis will inevitably develop into cirrhosis

Cirrhosis and liver cancer are related to hepatitis, but only a few people will eventually develop liver cancer. This depends to a large extent on the body's immune status, which is closely related to mood and emotions. Therefore, to correctly understand hepatitis B, you must let go of the burden and not seek medical treatment everywhere just to turn the test results negative. During treatment, you should be careful not to overwork, avoid drinking, and maintain an optimistic attitude.
