Patient's question:
Can ear piercing cause hepatitis B infection? I also have antibodies for this disease. How should this condition be treated?Doctor's answer:
In clinical diagnosis, the main routes of hepatitis B infection include blood, sexual contact, mother-to-child transmission, and healthcare-related transmission. Therefore, getting ear piercings can potentially lead to hepatitis B infection. Have you had an antibody titer test done? Generally, having antibodies can prevent hepatitis B infection, but when the antibody titer in the body is below 10 mIU/ml, there is a possibility of contracting hepatitis B if exposed to blood containing the hepatitis B virus. If you have any concerns, you can communicate with me directly online. Liver disease causes significant harm to patients, so once symptoms are noticed, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. At the same time, pay close attention to dietary issues, with a focus on light and nutritious foods. We hope that liver patients can receive professional treatment.
