Hi
There no specific exercise or food recommended for PAN but you can always focus on omega 3 and drinking lots of fluids and doing regular mild exercise.
also there is no evidence that it is sexually transmitted or inherited to children, try to think of the disease as a trail to fight hepatitis B in an exaggerated manner
Good Luck

Hi..
PAN is not seen to inherit but the risk associated with it is of Hepatitis B and HPV infections..
So before proceeding further you should consult his treating Physician so that he can re-evaluate hos case history and if investigations are needed they can be done so that appropriate treatment can be instilled and you can be advised proper precautions and advise regarding family planning..

Hope this helps..

It is not proved to be genetic predisposition in PAN .
Nothing can be done other than taking medications regularly and as prescribed , psychological counseling and care and follow up…nothing specific It is always helpful to maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle.
