Hello,
With the question “How are men with chronic hepatitis B treated? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Hepatitis B is a chronic disease that cannot be cured, the purpose of taking antiviral drugs is to inhibit the replication of the hepatitis B virus without eliminating the hepatitis B virus. from the body to prevent cirrhosis or liver cancer. Therefore, people infected with hepatitis B virus almost take medicine for life, except for some very small cases, they can stop taking the drug at the discretion of the doctor such as HBeAg before treatment, current HBcrAg, liver enzymes load, money family history of cirrhosis or liver cancer,... Currently, with your liver enzymes normal, the load is below the threshold, but the information you give is very little, so you decide to stop taking the drug or continue taking it. You need to consult the doctor who has followed you or go to the hospital to do some more tests such as abdominal ultrasound, liver elastography, HBcrAg and provide more information.
If you still have questions about men with chronic hepatitis B, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System for further testing and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
