Self-care methods for hepatitis B patients

  1, hepatitis B patients in the recovery period and chronic course, should be based on scientific self-regulation.  (1) positive attitude: Hepatitis B patients and hepatitis virus carriers should have a good state of mind, keep a relaxed mood, positive optimism and open-mindedness, the influence of mental and emotional factors on the human body is great. The optimistic mental state has a huge impact on the human body and the recovery of the disease, and a relaxed mental state is a good immune regulator. The biggest symptom of chronic hepatitis B is the dysfunction of immune function. Only when the body and mind are healthy and confidence in overcoming hepatitis B is established, liver disease is easy to recover from.  (2) Prevention of infection: prevent various infections to prevent aggravation or recurrence of the disease.  (3) hepatitis recovery period should master the “combination of static and dynamic, step by step” principle: appropriate to engage in the work within its capabilities and appropriate exercise self-care, to not fatigue as the standard, listening to music, watching TV, chatting, indoor and outdoor activities can divert the patient’s attention, is conducive to the body’s blood circulation, increase the function of internal organs.  (4) Regularity of life and good sleep: the so-called regularity is also known as “regularity of life”, so that the body can fight hepatitis B in a relatively stable internal and external environment and promote recovery. A good night’s sleep will enable the body to get sufficient rest and maintenance, and improve the functional state of the body. Regular, reasonable and good sleep is an important part of the routine of life.  (5) Lifestyle conditioning: no smoking, no alcohol, harmonious and moderate sex life.  (6) Reasonable diet: the principle is to have a nutritionally balanced diet, increase protein intake appropriately, avoid excessive calorie intake, and prevent the occurrence of fatty liver and diabetes.  2, hepatitis B patients should reasonably arrange their daily activities (1) in severe hepatitis B liver failure, extreme weakness, severe gastrointestinal symptoms, progressive deepening of jaundice, etc., and can be complicated by hepatic coma, hepatorenal syndrome, bleeding, secondary infection, etc.. Therefore, hospitalization is necessary. Because of the increased caloric consumption and increased burden on the liver after activity, bed rest should be absolute and no random bed activity should be allowed. Make physical exertion reduced to the minimum. The patient’s washing and urination and defecation should be taken care of by someone.  (2) Acute hepatitis B should be based on “quiet”: bed rest is recommended. This is because bed rest can reduce physical exertion and can increase blood flow to the liver. The blood flow to the liver at bed rest is 40% more than when standing up. Therefore, bed rest ensures the nutrients needed to regenerate and repair liver cells. The better you rest, the faster your condition will improve. If the patient starts to have symptoms of jaundice, after the jaundice subsides and the symptoms improve significantly, the patient can get up and move around for 1 to 2 hours a day.  (3) The principle of chronic hepatitis B should also be based on static: but not necessarily overemphasize bed rest. At this time, patients can gradually carry out some light activities. Appropriate activities can enhance physical strength, active physiological functions of the organs of the body, pleasant body and mind, conducive to recovery, a few patients due to lack of activity, while blindly increasing too much nutrition, the result of obesity, fatty liver instead of unfavorable. Chronic hepatitis patients in the recovery period or the resting period, pay attention to the combination of static and dynamic, according to their age, physical fitness, occupation, the severity of the disease and personal preferences, habits of different, to explore their own suitable exercise and suitable exercise program. The general principle is to increase the amount of exercise to the extent that you do not feel fatigue, each exercise to feel a little sweating is OK. If the appetite improves, the body and mind are happy, the fatigue is reduced, and the liver function improves, then the amount of activity can be increased or the duration of exercise can be extended on the basis of the ability, but strenuous physical activities should be avoided, and those who are engaged in mental work should also pay attention not to overwork and ensure sufficient sleep time. Patients with cirrhosis and esophageal varices should avoid activities or sports programs that increase abdominal pressure.  3, Hepatitis B virus carriers should combine work and rest Hepatitis B virus carriers should live a regular life, pay attention to rest and combine work and rest. Each night to ensure 7 to 8 hours of sleep, a half-hour break at noon.

You can also close your eyes and massage the upper and lower orbits, press the temples for 3 to 5 minutes, or do light housework to eliminate fatigue. When a day of running, physical exertion, you can use hot water soak feet. When standing labor pain in the back after work, can pound the back and knead the waist, lower limbs elevated, to eliminate fatigue. In short, after a long time to move to rest, after a long time to exercise for rest, the combination of movement and stillness in order to facilitate the fitness of the heart and liver.
