What is the route of transmission of viral hepatitis?

Patient's question:

Actually, I didn't feel particularly uncomfortable either. It was just that during that time, many people kept saying my complexion wasn't very good. My face was always yellow, as if I had some kind of illness. I also felt a bit nauseous and kept feeling sick. Everything else was fine. After a thorough examination, I found out that this was viral hepatitis. I don't know if it can be contagious.

Doctor's answer:

The main transmission routes of the hepatitis B virus are three: blood transmission; horizontal transmission from mother to child; sexual transmission. Hepatitis B does not spread through the digestive tract or respiratory tract, so daily contact such as drinking together, hot kissing, training together, or eating dinner generally does not spread hepatitis B. Hepatitis A is mainly transmitted through unclean food and drinking raw water. The main ways of hepatitis C virus transmission include: transmission through surgery and blood products, transmission through skin exposure, mother-to-child transmission, and sexual transmission. Actually, getting viral hepatitis is not scary. Patients should believe that they can overcome the disease. As long as timely treatment is provided when it is detected early, the chances of suppressing the condition and recovering are very high.
