Can hepatitis carriers be cured?

Under current medical conditions, hepatitis cannot be completely cured. For hepatitis carriers, if there are no symptoms, it means that the liver function is basically normal, and the viral DNA test should be negative. No treatment is needed at this time. You should emphasize nourishment, pay attention to a light diet, go to bed on time, avoid overwork, and regularly check liver function, virus, and DNA indicators.

What should hepatitis B virus carriers pay attention to in their daily lives?

1. Understand the transmission routes of hepatitis B.

Hepatitis B is only transmitted through blood, sexual contact and mother-to-child transmission. You will not be infected if you have general contact with hepatitis B virus carriers in daily life and work. However, if the skin or mucous membrane of a hepatitis B virus carrier is damaged during contact and his blood flows into a healthy person, it may cause infection.

2. Avoid seeking medical treatment indiscriminately or following advertisements.

This is the number one taboo for hepatitis B virus carriers! Most hepatitis B advertisements contain false information, so you must never follow them. Oral medications must be detoxified and excreted by the liver. Taking medication unnecessarily not only wastes money, but more importantly, may damage the liver.

3. Reasonable nutrition and a balance between work and rest.

Hepatitis B virus carriers must quit drinking and smoking, and avoid strenuous exercise, staying up late, and other behaviors that harm the liver. Young people often stay up late and lack of sleep, which can cause a relative lack of blood flow to the liver, affect the nutrition and nourishment of liver cells, and lead to a decrease in resistance. In some people, already damaged liver cells will be difficult to repair and may worsen. You can appropriately choose safe and effective Chinese medicines that have immune-enhancing functions, such as astragalus, glossy privet, umbellate, wolfberry, coix seed, etc. for Chinese medicine diet therapy, such as making soups and porridge.

4. Pay attention to personal hygiene and family hygiene

Wash your hands, take a bath, and change clothes frequently. If there is a chronic hepatitis B virus carrier in your family, it is best to use separate towels, washbasins, teacups and other daily necessities. Female patients with chronic hepatitis B virus infection should properly handle personal and sanitary items during menstruation. If one of a young couple is found to be a carrier of the hepatitis B virus, they can get married, but the uninfected partner should be vaccinated against hepatitis B (3 shots in total) and is advised to use condoms during sexual intercourse. When conceiving the next generation, if the man is a carrier of hepatitis B virus, the woman should be vaccinated with hepatitis B vaccine for full immunization, which can effectively prevent the woman from being infected and vertical transmission from mother to child; if the woman is a carrier of hepatitis B virus, active and passive combined immunization can be provided to the newborn, with a protection rate of more than 90%.

5. If you don’t want to get pregnant, it’s best to use condoms.

Contraceptive drugs can easily lead to recurrence of hepatitis B, and in severe cases can induce drug-induced hepatitis. Therefore, couples who are hepatitis B virus carriers and do not want children are best to use condoms for contraception.

6. Regular review and follow-up.

Hepatitis B virus carriers must undergo regular checkups at regular medical institutions to dynamically monitor their liver function and hepatitis B virus indicators. Generally, a follow-up examination should be conducted every six months to one year, and whether treatment is needed should be decided based on the specific circumstances.
