What should patients with hepatitis B virus (HBsAg) pay attention to?

In addition to following the doctor's instructions, patients with hepatitis B virus (HBsAg) also need to pay attention to their living habits. Patients with triple positive have relatively weak liver immunity, so they cannot drink alcohol, need more rest, and consult a doctor before taking any medication.

Things to note for Sanyang

1. Drinking is strictly prohibited: Drinking will increase the burden on the liver. Long-term drinking or drinking in large quantities will cause damage to the liver and cause degeneration and necrosis of liver cells. Hepatitis B patients already have liver disease, and drinking alcohol is like making the disease worse, which can accelerate the progression of the disease towards cirrhosis or even liver cancer. Therefore, it is a responsible behavior for hepatitis B patients to abstain from alcohol. Any drinks or foods containing alcohol should be included in the list of taboos.

2. Eat less processed foods and snacks: Canned and bottled drinks, foods and common snacks often contain preservatives, which are more or less toxic to the liver. Long-term consumption will inevitably put a burden on the liver and aggravate the condition.

3. Use medicines and supplements with caution: All medicines are toxic. There are hundreds of medicines on the market that can cause damage to the liver and kidneys. Patients with liver disease must use medicines reasonably under the correct guidance of a doctor. In addition, do not take enzyme-lowering drugs without authorization, because enzyme-lowering drugs alone cannot treat the condition. Instead, they may affect the test results, affect the judgment of the condition, and delay treatment.

4. Prevent overwork: Overwork consumes a large amount of nutrients and oxygen, resulting in a significant reduction in the liver's energy supply and weakening the liver's resistance to disease. The hepatitis B virus will spread rapidly, destroying liver function until irreversible lesions occur. When the condition of hepatitis B patients is stable, it is recommended to combine work and rest, exercise appropriately, rest appropriately, and control the "degree". Activities should not make people feel tired, nauseous, or have back pain. Live a regular life and have a regular daily routine. Do not easily break a good life routine. During the period of fluctuation of the condition, it is best to rest in bed and recuperate quietly.

5. Maintain a happy mood: Anger will cause rapid breathing, a sharp increase in the number of red blood cells in the blood, faster blood coagulation than normal, and tachycardia. This will not only hinder the health of the cardiovascular system, but also affect the health of the liver. Depression can lead to liver qi stagnation, which can easily cause pain in the liver area and even affect endocrine system and resistance, making the condition worse. Patients with Hepatitis B virus (HBV) must remain open-minded, positive and optimistic, so as to alleviate pain, promote the enhancement of the body's immune mechanism and ultimately defeat the disease.

6. Exercise moderation in your sex life: Excessive indulgence will deplete your vitality, damage your liver and kidneys, and easily lead to complications such as fatigue, back pain, weak legs, loss of appetite, dizziness, tinnitus, insomnia, forgetfulness, etc., or aggravate existing symptoms and cause you pain. Appropriate sexual intercourse is allowed during the stable period of the disease, but sexual intercourse must be abstained from when the disease is unstable. If you experience symptoms such as fatigue, back pain, dizziness, etc. after sexual intercourse, you should stop having sex immediately.
