Can hepatitis b clear on its own?

I got tested a few months ago and was positive for Hepatitis B. My doctor said sometimes it can go away on its own. How common is that, actually? Can Hepatitis B clear on its own?

Yes, absolutely, in adults almost 90% of acute Hep B cases clear up on their own within six months. My own infection cleared up naturally without any specific antivirals, just lots of rest. But you must get tested again after 6 months to make sure it's completely gone.

For many adults, the body's immune system clears the acute infection on its own. While you wait for it to clear, keeping your body active with mild activities like walking is great if your doctor says it is okay. Just avoid heavy workouts because your liver needs rest to fight the virus.

Beta, in most adults, the body is strong enough to clear this virus by itself. Along with your doctor's advice, eat simple boiled food, avoid heavy spices, and drink plenty of water to give your liver a break. But do not self-treat, proper medical testing is a must.

It can clear on its own, but the waiting period is incredibly stressful, and I totally understand how anxious you must be feeling. I spent months worrying if mine would turn chronic or clear up. Just hang in there, take it one day at a time, and rely on your doctor's guidance.

I am actually quite new to this and still trying to understand how it works. It is comforting to hear that it can clear on its own, but what happens if it doesn't? Do we have to start daily medicines right away in that case?
