Patient's question:
Well, as they say, absence makes the heart grow fonder. Intimacy between spouses is important, but my husband is a carrier of the hepatitis B virus, which has created a barrier for us, causing us great pain. How should we adopt preventive measures?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, hepatitis B is currently very difficult to treat. However, during medication, it is best to take some liver-protecting supplements. If one partner in a couple contracts hepatitis B, it is recommended that the other partner get their liver function checked at the hospital to see if they have antibodies. If there are no antibodies, they should get the hepatitis B vaccine. If there are antibodies, there is no need to worry. Having antibodies generally makes it less likely to get infected, but it is still best to use a condom during sexual activity. Liver disease greatly affects patients, so once symptoms are noticed, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. At the same time, diet should be given more attention, with a focus on light and nutritious foods. We hope that liver patients can receive professional treatment.
