Patient's question:
Last month during the company's health check-up, one of my colleagues was found to have hepatitis. I heard that this disease is contagious, but I don't know if it's true. I really want to know if hepatitis is actually infectious. I'm very worried about getting infected with this disease. How is it transmitted?Doctor's answer:
Yes, hepatitis patients should pay special attention not to consume too much sugar, as the human body's three major metabolic pathways mainly rely on the liver. If a person with liver disease consumes large amounts of sugar, it will inevitably increase the burden on the liver, potentially leading to diabetes. After contracting hepatitis, it is recommended to abstain from alcohol and avoid alcoholic beverages. Additionally, avoid taking medications that are harmful to the liver. For many common illnesses, such as colds and coughs, it is advisable to take traditional Chinese herbal remedies or patent medicines.It is also important to pay attention to dietary hygiene. The daily treatment for hepatitis patients primarily involves symptomatic treatment. Patients can take various oral medications, supplemented with multiple vitamins, while also paying attention to their diet by consuming light, soft, and easily digestible foods. We hope that hepatitis patients can recover as soon as possible! Thank you!
