Analysis of several misconceptions in the treatment and conditioning of chronic hepatitis B

Spring is the time when everything is revived, the weather is warming up, and everywhere is full of spring, from the medical point of view, spring is also the time when various chronic liver diseases are easy to relapse and easy to be active, especially chronic hepatitis B. However, from another point of view, spring is also the golden time for liver disease recuperation and treatment, and the plan for liver health lies in spring. The author found that many chronic hepatitis B patients around the usual life treatment and conditioning exist some misconceptions, seriously misleading the patient’s care and treatment, and we are discussing the following. Misconceptions a, hearsay, biased listening. Some hepatitis B patients are hearsay, biased, only believe in other people’s treatment experience, hear others say that this drug is good to use this drug, heard that this drug is not good to reject this drug. Especially nowadays, the medical advertising market is chaotic, with all kinds of false advertisements and drug propaganda flying around, which can easily mislead the patients’ consultation and treatment, resulting in economic losses and delays or aggravation of the disease. In fact, the treatment of chronic hepatitis B is a complex and long-term process. It is recommended that patients take their medication according to the course of treatment under the guidance of a hepatologist, and that they have regular reviews and follow-ups. The second misconception is that it is only important to protect the liver and ignore the virus. The most fundamental cause of chronic hepatitis B is the hepatitis B virus, so the most fundamental treatment is antiviral therapy, the only way to control the hepatitis B virus to the lowest level, it is possible to stop or slow down the progress of the disease. However, many patients do not recognize the importance of antiviral therapy, and only think that liver-protective treatment is important, and only meet the normal transaminase test, the disease tends to stabilize on the surface, but the continuous replication of the virus is subconsciously causing the disease to progress. For chronic hepatitis B patients, transaminase level is not the most critical indicator to evaluate the disease and guide the treatment, and the degree of transaminase elevation is not necessarily proportional to the severity of the disease, especially since some enzyme-lowering drugs only reduce the enzyme activity and make the measurement result lower to normal. If the disease is in the best antiviral treatment period, it should be timely antiviral treatment. Misconception three, blindly avoiding food. The folk have always been sick to avoid the mouth, many people hearsay, gullible hepatitis B patients can not eat chicken, mutton, fish, etc.. Many hepatitis B patients listed a long “avoid food” list. As a result, they don’t eat this and that, and they don’t eat indiscriminately, so they can’t get nutrition, and over the years, their resistance decreases, which is not conducive to the recovery of the disease. Some patients also “take supplements” every day in order to treat liver disease, resulting in serious fatty liver. These are the negative consequences of incorrect concepts. In fact, for simple chronic hepatitis B patients, there is not much special prophet diet, the basic principle is comprehensive nutrition, fruits, vegetables, meat, soybean products are needed, but try to eat less spicy stimulation and fried, pickled and smoked products. But especially remember to absolutely abstain from alcohol, alcohol is the natural enemy of liver disease patients. Misconception four, excessive psychological burden. Some chronic hepatitis B patients may develop terminal liver disease such as cirrhosis and liver cancer. This makes many patients anxious and depressed. In fact, there are only a few chronic hepatitis B patients who have liver cancer. It is important to have a correct understanding of the possibility of developing liver cancer, both to see the correlation between hepatitis B and liver cancer so as to draw attention to it, treat it in time and review it regularly; and to see the reality that this proportion is not very high, relax and deal with the disease and life in a positive and optimistic way. The development of hepatitis largely depends on the immune status of the individual, which in turn is closely related to the individual’s emotions. Excessive psychological burden will only affect the prognosis and will not help the condition. Therefore, it is wise for hepatitis B patients to face the reality with optimism and actively cooperate with the doctor’s treatment.
