Can hepatitis C be cured? How long does it take to treat hepatitis C?

The symptoms of hepatitis C are not very obvious clinically, so it is easy to be ignored in life, which leads to the disease. Because of the lack of effective treatment for a long time, cirrhosis and liver cancer occur. As a patient, you should also pay attention to clearly judge the condition, choose the appropriate treatment method, and actively do physical examinations to prevent the disease from worsening.

The clinical manifestations of hepatitis C are not obvious, which causes patients to ignore treatment and develop cirrhosis and liver cancer. Therefore, few patients can be cured of hepatitis C, but this also causes many patients to

Misconceptions about hepatitis C treatment.

1. It’s okay if hepatitis C doesn’t have symptoms. In fact, the symptoms of hepatitis C are obvious at the beginning, but due to its hidden nature, many people infected with hepatitis C virus do not have any symptoms for a long time. However, the hepatitis C virus continues to "quietly" destroy liver cells until cirrhosis or malignant transformation into liver cancer occurs, at which time related symptoms appear.

2. If transaminase returns to normal, there is no need to continue treatment for hepatitis C. The return of transaminase to normal does not mean that the hepatitis C virus in the body has been completely eliminated. At this time, patients must continue to adhere to standardized antiviral treatment to solve the fundamental problem.

3. Blindly taking liver-protecting and transaminase-lowering drugs. Many hepatitis C patients are misled by false medical advertisements and take liver-protecting and transaminase-lowering drugs, as well as health products. As a result, they spend a lot of money, but the hepatitis C treatment has no effect.
