In China, the infection rate of hepatitis B virus in healthy adults is about 60% or more, and about 8%-15% of them become surface antigen carriers, which means that there are at least 100 to 150 million people in China who are surface antigen carriers, of which only a small number are real hepatitis B patients, and most of them are surface antigen carriers, and most of them may not develop the disease throughout their lives. However, there are many misconceptions about hepatitis B. As a result, many people think they have hepatitis once they find out they are surface antigen positive, and they often do not know much about the disease they are infected with, or are even completely ignorant. Either for the sake of the disease at all and worry about labor, or listen to the so-called bias or secret formula, and delay the curable disease, or originally not serious disease due to inappropriate treatment and aggravation, some even make the already not very rich family economic more difficult. Therefore, how to correctly understand the hepatitis B virus infection, how to do the correct and scientific treatment is the problem we must solve at present. One of the misconceptions is that viral carriage is hepatitis B The so-called viral carriage refers to one or more positive serum hepatitis B markers (commonly known as two-and-a-half) tests, in particular, positive surface antigen (HBsAg), positive core antibody (anti-HBc) and E antibody (anti-HBe), some are E antigen positive, or HBV DNA positive, (E antigen or DNA positive people, usually have (E antigen or DNA positive people are usually contagious, this contagious refers to close living contact such as couples or lovers, blood and body fluids are the most important contagious, but daily work and life interaction, is not contagious) Among these infected people, most of the liver function is normal, just the virus carrier, there are no symptoms, often inadvertently found in the physical examination of the hepatitis B virus infection. For this group of people, no special treatment is often needed. The best approach is to have regular checkups at the hospital and to have the necessary health counseling. If liver damage is found in the future, then the patient is considered to have developed hepatitis B. Therefore, we can see that a patient with hepatitis B is a patient with a partial viral infection with liver damage, especially with liver histological damage. This group of people does need regular and comprehensive treatment. However, the large number of advertisements currently available makes it impossible for the majority of carriers to treat hepatitis B virus infection correctly. It is very unrealistic to think that taking certain drugs, especially certain herbs, prescriptions or secret remedies, can fundamentally clear the hepatitis B virus. Therefore, for the general virus carriers, regular medical checkups at the hospital are very necessary. However, it is definitely not advisable to carry an excessive psychological burden or to keep taking various kinds of drugs. The second misconception is that hepatitis B is incurable and will definitely turn into liver cirrhosis and liver cancer This is a very wrong view. It is true that a small number of hepatitis B patients, if not well diagnosed and treated, may gradually transform into cirrhosis or even liver cancer within a certain period of time, but this is by no means the same as all people infected with hepatitis B virus will become cirrhosis and liver cancer, in fact, only 1 to 2% of hepatitis B may become cirrhosis and less than 0.2% may develop into liver cancer. Therefore, as long as chronic hepatitis B patients can undergo scientific and regular examination and treatment, most of them will not lead to very serious results. It is worth mentioning that there are already two classes of recognized essential drugs (FDA approved) for the treatment of hepatitis B. Long-acting interferons (pegylated interferon developed by the Swiss company Roche, under the trade name “Pyroxin”, and pegylated interferon alpha-2b produced by the American company Schering-Plough, under the trade name “The nucleoside analogues (NA) are a class of drugs with about 4-5 different characteristics, and four of them are currently available in China. The application of these drugs needs to be tailored to different disease conditions and treated with individualized protocols. Their therapeutic effect varies from person to person. Moreover, the above mentioned drugs have problems of variable efficacy, high price and the development of resistance to contract with improper use. However, it is reassuring to note that there is growing evidence that a cure for hepatitis B is possible with the correct and appropriate use of available antiviral drugs. For example, HBsAg negative and anti-HBs positive conversion rates of up to 40% have been reported 5 years after pegylated interferon use, and similarly, although nucleoside analogs have been used in China for only 10 years, there are now increasing reports of these results being achieved with nucleoside analogs. It is important to understand this because doctors can often encounter many hepatitis B virus-infected patients in the clinic who always keep asking if there is a drug that can cure hepatitis B. The answer now is: yes! However, everyone’s situation is different, some need treatment, some need observation, some have good treatment, some have poor treatment, which requires patients to be able to treat their disease correctly and consult or treat under the guidance of a regular specialist as much as possible. In fact, there are many patients, whose fundamental problem is that they are very worried that they may become cirrhosis or become liver cancer, and there are even many who try to buy various advertised drugs in the hope of completely removing the virus from their bodies, with the result that the vast majority of them not only fail to get what they want, but many of them also suffer from damage to their liver function caused by taking too much of various drugs. Therefore, it is important to understand your disease correctly, and if you do not know your disease situation very well, you can go to the hospital for the necessary consultation. Do not be pessimistic and disappointed, or indiscriminately seek medical help. As we have discussed above, the treatment of viral hepatitis B is a long-term, standardized, scientific process, and the correct course of treatment and a strict scientific program are important issues in the treatment of chronic hepatitis B. The correct course of treatment and a strict scientific protocol are important issues in the treatment of chronic hepatitis B. Viral hepatitis B is a long-term, standardized, scientific process, and the correct course of treatment and a strict scientific protocol are important issues in the treatment of chronic hepatitis B. Each individual case is different, and viral hepatitis B is not always untreatable. In fact, many new drugs have been introduced in recent years to treat viral hepatitis, each with its own advantages and shortcomings. Many people infected with hepatitis B virus think that the hospital can not cure my disease anyway, why not try other methods, and ask around and buy the so-called special drugs, but the problem is that many irregular or water-laden false advertising, unlimited exaggerated the efficacy of its drugs, avoiding the toxicity and side effects of its drugs, so that many patients are deceived and regret the end. We can often see in clinical practice patients who have aggravated hepatitis or even caused severe hepatitis because of taking certain herbal medicines. As we know, the liver is the center of human metabolism, almost all the substances that enter the body have to be metabolized by the liver, therefore, the use of too many drugs, whether Western or Chinese, will increase the burden on the liver and the chance of damage, abuse of drugs for hepatitis has become an important cause of aggravating liver damage. The general public has a misconception that Chinese medicine has no side effects. In fact, herbal medicines have side effects and are often invisible, unlike western medicines that are clearly stated. Many herbal medicines can be very damaging to the liver, such as neem, pennyroyal, sanguinaria, sanguinaria root, and bitter almond, and long-term use can lead to drug-related liver damage. The liver is the organ that intercepts and detoxifies all foreign substances, and when the liver is sick, you take foreign substances that you don’t know what to eat, which in fact adds to the burden and trouble of an already sick and exhausted liver, and sometimes not only does not solve the liver’s problems, but on the contrary only deepens the liver’s damage. So when you want to use drugs, you should choose drugs with clear pharmacology, including Western medicine, Chinese medicine, herbal medicine, folk remedies and so on. Therefore, the treatment of hepatitis should not be indiscriminately seeking medical advice or using drugs.
