What causes flank pain and back pain in hepatitis B "big three positives"? What should be done?
For individuals with hepatitis B "big three positive" status, rib distension and pain along with back pain may be caused by physiological factors or pathological factors such as thoracic spine trauma or liver damage. Targeted treatment is required. Specific analysis is as follows:
I. Physiological Factors
If adequate rest is not observed during illness and excessive physical labor is performed, the condition may worsen, leading to these symptoms. It is recommended to get sufficient rest in daily life and maintain a balance between work and relaxation.
II. Pathological Factors
1. Thoracic Spine Trauma
If the thoracic spine suffers trauma during illness, it may result in vertebral fractures, causing these symptoms. It is recommended to seek medical attention at a hospital for fracture repair under the guidance of a physician.
2. Liver Damage
Improper care during illness may lead to severe liver damage. In such cases, the liver may become enlarged, stretching the liver capsule surrounding it, thus causing these symptoms. It is advised to visit a hospital for further examination and appropriate treatment.
In addition to the above, conditions such as tuberculosis, lung tumors, and liver cancer can also cause these symptoms. Immediate medical evaluation is necessary to prevent life-threatening complications.
