Patient's question:
My husband was diagnosed with hepatitis B, the small three positive. We are all very worried now. I worry that my husband won't be cured, and my husband worries that his illness will spread to me and our children. They no longer eat dinner with us together. Seeing my husband like this, my heart aches. Now the house isn't like a home at all. I'm so heartbroken.Doctor's answer:
The most dangerous way of spreading hepatitis is through human body fluids and blood. Eating dinner with a hepatitis B patient is unlikely to transmit the virus unless the patient's saliva contaminated with the virus gets onto the food, you eat it into your mouth, and you happen to have a mouth ulcer, and the virus happens to be at the ulcer site. Maternal-fetal transmission is mostly when the mother's virus-infected body fluids enter the child during childbirth, while the child in the womb absorbs the mother's nutrients, most of which are normal. For patients, if the liver disease condition is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication are necessary, otherwise it may lead to a recurrence of liver disease. In addition, patients also need a proper diet and maintain a positive mood.
