Patient's question:
Because there is someone with hepatitis B in the family, afraid of infecting the family, in this kind of situation, what aspects should pay a little attention to in life?Doctor's answer:
Hepatitis B is primarily transmitted through blood, semen, and vaginal secretions when the skin or mucous membranes of an infected person have open wounds. Of course, sexual activity can also lead to infection. Additionally, transmission can occur from mother to child or father to child. The best way to prevent it is to get the hepatitis B vaccine. Before antibodies develop, it's advisable to use condoms. Sexual activity is generally not a way to get infected. However, if both partners have oral ulcers, engaging in sexual activity or sharing eating utensils or personal hygiene items, there is a risk of infection. Therefore, family members should not share toothpaste. In daily life, it is highly unlikely to get infected.In addition to treating liver disease, patients are advised to pay attention to their diet and maintain a positive mood in daily life to strengthen their health and slow down the recovery process.
