Common misconceptions of hepatitis B patients

A. Do not spend your days in fear and anxiety because you have this disease. The mental burden and pressure of a hepatitis B patient is huge, mainly worried about: 1, infecting others. 2, treatment and treatment, always can not be cured, is not an incurable disease. 3. If the disease progresses, it will become cirrhosis of the liver or even liver cancer. 4.With this disease, what can I do in the future? Schooling is limited, marriage and childbirth are limited, etc. 5, the cost of treatment is like a “bottomless pit”, the family has as much money can not withstand this toss. In fact, most of these worries are superfluous and unnecessary for the following reasons: 1. Hepatitis B is generally transmitted only through vertical transmission (let’s call it genetic) and blood transmission (blood transfusion, medical device contamination, surgery, etc.), and contact transmission is rare, so there is no need to pay special attention to co-workers, parties, meals, etc. People who are not infected should be vaccinated against hepatitis B in time to prevent untoward events. 2, thousands of patients with hepatitis B, even if you do not eat a piece of medicine, the development of cirrhosis is only a very small number of people, the more the number of hepatitis B 3-5%, not to mention that there are many effective anti-fibrotic drugs available, patients can try, and then step back, even with cirrhosis, may not be so terrible, most of the compensated cirrhosis can also remain stable for a long time Most compensated cirrhosis can remain stable for a long time. The vast majority of hepatitis B patients are in a state of viral carriage or chronic prolonged state, generally speaking, they can engage in normal work and study, and now many universities and units no longer close the door to reject hepatitis B carriers, hepatitis B patients have the right and should get married and have children, but the babies born must be timely vaccinated against hepatitis B, so that future generations are protected from the suffering of their predecessors. 4, hepatitis B patients should be careful to spend money on treatment, should not spend money, not a penny, hepatitis B virus carriers do not need to use drugs, at least twice a year to check the liver function series, about 200-300 yuan; chronic migratory hepatitis B, available hepatoprotective drugs and antiviral drugs 2-3, take a course of treatment (about 6 months), such as hepatocyte with nucleoside The estimated cost is more than 3,000 yuan; chronic active hepatitis B can also be used in the above method, appropriate with some anti-fibrosis drugs, such as compound turtle nail soft liver tablets, etc., the estimated cost is about 5,000 yuan, frankly speaking, the cost of hepatitis B treatment is not low, the efficacy is not ideal, but, moderate, correct treatment is still necessary, just do not full of purposeless, rash medication. The above said, hepatitis B patients pay attention to the disease, but also scientific treatment, hepatitis B and other chronic diseases, only a very small number of people have a poor prognosis, most people can still go through life normally. Second, do not suffer from this disease and around to seek “medical” “ask” medicine, drinking hemlock thirst. At present, there are a lot of liver hospitals and clinics around, which have a lot of “liver disease experts”, some “ancestral”, some “self-taught”, some have won the domestic gold medal, there are also international awards. The international awards, there are national awarded, there are also foreigners issued by the television, newspapers and other media a publicity, recruiting a lot of attempts, although one by one to take advantage of the Xing, failed to return, this hammer sale, but fat “experts”, suffering from the patients. Look at these experts, there are social miscellaneous, there are individual doctors, the composition of the staff is very complex, if they are true publicity, each with great skills, why not formalized into the room, into the state and medical and scientific research units, and prefer to sit in a few square meters of the humble room “work hard” it? Look at the drugs used by the “experts”, a clear-cut Chinese medicine preparations, most of which do not have official approval numbers, the ingredients are confidential, huge profits. As for the therapeutic effect, it is fortunate that the treatment is not bad, each drug, whether Chinese or Western medicine, there should be strict pharmacological and clinical trials and verification, those arbitrary patchwork, save and into the Chinese medicine, in the end how to cure the disease, I am afraid that even the “experts” themselves are not clear, the use of their drugs, is tantamount to drinking hemlock thirst. The actual fact is that you will not be able to get a lot of money for this kind of disease. The number of hepatitis B advertisements is countless, saying how miraculous their drugs, how remarkable the efficacy, how fast the speed of conversion, how to cause a sensation, and so on, advertising each other, each other “to complement each other’s strengths and weaknesses”, seductive, deceptive increasingly perfect, the purpose of liver disease advertising, not for the benefit of the people hepatitis B, but to seize the people’s Wealth. The advertisements can be divided into: 1. naked type, that is, nakedly bragging about someone, a certain drug, the treatment of hepatitis B, the efficacy of the miraculous, characterized by the general appearance in tabloids, county and township level propaganda media, the use of “the best, the best” and other words, boasting themselves as “the king of turning negative”, “hepatitis B star”. “Such advertisements are too eye-catching and obviously violate advertising regulations, which are not very practical. 2, subtle type, that is, more implicitly imply that a drug, someone for the treatment of hepatitis B, such as “treatment of hepatitis B, looking for so-and-so”, “Yang to negative, rely on so-and-so”, “so-and-so treatment of hepatitis B, oral heart more convinced “and so on. 3, the news interview type, that is, through the report to promote a “liver disease expert” excellent deeds, growth experience, medical achievements and other content, to promote their own drugs, which is characterized by a certain person as a model of medical ethics, excellent medical skills, to cite a few patients who do not know the “example” of the miraculous cure The “liver disease expert” boasts that the “liver disease expert” has a large market, and at the end of the propaganda report, there must be his or her detailed address, phone number, how to buy drugs, etc., to lure you into the bait early. You can’t trust any of the liver disease advertisements, there is no miracle drug for hepatitis B. One day, it will appear, but it will never come from these “liver disease clinics, liver disease experts”. Fourth, do not fall into the trap of misunderstanding because of this disease, can not extricate themselves. For a long time, due to ignorance and some misinformation, rumors, most hepatitis B patients have some misconceptions deep-rooted in their minds, leading to their mistakes in action, the result is “accompany the lady and fold the disease”, the main misconceptions are: 1, as long as the hepatitis B, we must be treated at all costs. 2, hepatitis B “big three yang” must be converted to “small three yang”, “small three yang” than “big three yang” good. 3, hepatitis B treatment is to make the virus turn negative. The majority of people who are positive for the hepatitis B virus, 140 million, can be called hepatitis B patients, but should be actively treated as long as a few, for the vast majority of hepatitis B virus carriers, do not yet need drug treatment. The “big three” or “small three” is a sign of viral infection, and does not indicate the severity of the disease itself. It is not necessarily a good thing that the hepatitis B “big three positive” to “small three positive”, if it belongs to the hepatitis B virus genetic mutation after the transfer of the negative, the results are worse. The purpose of hepatitis B treatment is not only to make the virus turn negative, but also to keep liver function stable in the long term, to interrupt the process of liver fibrosis, and to promote the regeneration of liver cells. Therefore, hepatitis B patients should never hold too high an extravagant hope for the hepatitis B virus to turn negative, and seek up and down for the sake of turning negative. I. Some targeted measures and opinions in brief, for your reference. Finally, I would like to summarize a few comments for hepatitis B patients: 1, to defeat hepatitis B, first of all, we must defeat ourselves, do not let the hepatitis B virus to crush across, live boldly, strategically defy it (believe in ourselves, believe in science, hepatitis B will eventually be defeated), tactically pay attention to it (with the help of regular doctors, develop a thorough treatment and recovery plan, regular follow-up visits, take medication on time). 2.Be optimistic and open-minded, be positive, cultivate useful and healthy hobbies and interests. 3, understand and master some general knowledge of liver disease, so that those “heresies” about hepatitis B have no place to stand. 4, do not believe in advertising, do not be deceived. 5.Actively get in touch with the advanced units of hepatitis B research in China (key research laboratories, hospitals of medical universities, PLA infectious disease centers, etc.) and listen to their guidance and advice. 6, do not confuse the use of drugs, whether Chinese medicine, or Western medicine, without the official state approval question mark, are not used.
