Can hepatitis B be cured totally?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Most adults with hepatitis B recover fully, even if their signs and symptoms are severe. Infants and children are more likely to develop a chronic (long-lasting) hepatitis B infection. A vaccine can prevent hepatitis B, but there's no cure if you have the condition.

It sounds like you may be experiencing anal fissures or possibly a hemorrhoidal condition. I recommend consulting a doctor who can assess your symptoms and suggest treatments such as topical creams or stool softeners to help ease the discomfort. In the meantime, try to avoid straining and keep the area clean and moisturized.
