After being diagnosed with Behcet's disease and confined for two weeks, Hong Kong actor Raymond Wong has been released from hospital.

The actor, though still looking pale from his illness, came out smiling as he greeted the media and shared about his discomfort over the past month. He assured the public that his condition is better and has stabilized.

Wong said doctors have examined all his vital organs and found them functioning normally. However, he has to continue his hospital visits for follow-up checkup as his stomach lining is still inflamed.

The actor is still in a weak state and cannot do rigorous work and exercise, but he can walk by himself and pick up his three-year old son from kindergarten.

According to Wong, the symptoms of his illness worsened when he traveled to Australia to promote a TVB drama he was cast in last August. Although he took anti-inflammatory medication for what he thought was sore throat, his condition did not get better.

"I was unable to swallow my own saliva for ten days," Wong added.

Reports say he was unable to take in solid food before entering the hospital and had lost weight during that time. He's slowly regaining weight and is now at 130 pounds.

Wong also expressed regret for having to withdraw from his role in the upcoming TVB drama 'Cheung Po Tsai'. He hopes the filming would go well, and thanked his colleagues in the drama.

"I wish everyone health, as possessing a healthy body is the real wealth in life," Wong said.

He thanked his wife and the medical staff who took care of him when he was sick.
