Patient's question:
According to health magazines, it's a big country for hepatitis B, which sounds a bit terrifying. Because these diseases are quite private, it's also unknown who among us has hepatitis. Oh, I'd like to know which routes generally spread the hepatitis B virus.Doctor's answer:
The infection with the hepatitis B virus is generally believed to occur through three routes: sexual transmission (including all intimate behaviors involving bodily fluid exchange, such as deep kissing), blood transmission, and mother-to-child transmission. It is advisable to avoid alcohol consumption. Long-term alcohol consumption by hepatitis B patients will increase the strain on the liver, leading to liver damage and potentially resulting in alcoholic cirrhosis, which severely interferes with the patient's life. There are many treatment methods for viral hepatitis, but since the symptoms vary among patients, the diagnostic approaches used also differ. Therefore, it is recommended that patients seek early diagnosis and treatment upon noticing symptoms.
