Patient's question:
The day before yesterday, I went to the hospital and found out that I am a carrier of the hepatitis B virus. Does this interfere with my future life? Can it be transmitted to my family? How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hepatitis B virus carriers need to regularly check liver function and HBV DNA. If liver function is abnormal and the viral load is high, active treatment is required. Subsequently, follow-up tests should be conducted irregularly, and if liver function remains abnormal, an antiviral treatment plan should be adopted. The main transmission routes of this disease are blood, sexual contact, mother-to-child transmission, and sharing needles. Therefore, your partner may be infected, and necessary measures should be taken. You can get tested for the five hepatitis B markers, and if there are no antibodies, you should receive the hepatitis B vaccine. In addition, during the treatment of liver disease, in addition to timely treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also very important. The patient must always maintain a positive mood and a proper diet.
