What exactly is this viral load thing I've been hearing about? I'm stressing about my health a lot. Is hepatitis B something that can be cured? My test results came back saying HBsAg is provisionally reactive, and the lab suggested I get an HBsAg confirmatory test. I haven't noticed any of the symptoms I've read about online, but I'm feeling very tired and have lost a lot of weight, going from 68 kg to 58 kg. Could this be because of hepatitis B? How do I find out if this is an acute or chronic infection, and is it something fatal or life-threatening? I'm really worried here.

Viral load refers to the amount of hepatitis B virus (HBV) present in your blood; a confirmatory test will determine if you're infected; Hepatitis B can be managed, but not completely cured; symptoms like fatigue and weight loss can occur, but it's essential to consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment; acute HBV is typically self-limiting, while chronic HBV requires ongoing management; it's not immediately life-threatening, but if left untreated, can lead to liver damage or cancer; schedule an appointment with a hepatologist or gastroenterologist to discuss your results, determine the stage of infection, and develop a treatment plan.

I'm dealing with gallstones and some gastric issues, and I've been taking Ursocol 300mg twice a day. I'm wondering if there might be any side effects if I continue this for an extended period, like 6 months to a year. Any insights?

My husband seems to be dealing with what we think is hyperacidity. Every 30 to 40 days, he gets this stomach pain, and if it gets worse, he ends up vomiting. Also, hes been noticing some small swollen balls near his anal area that burst after a day or two and then bleed. He cant wear tight jeans or pants either because they make his stomach hurt more. We're really worried and would love some insight on what might be going on and how we can manage or treat this. Any advice?
