Patient's question:
I live in the same dormitory with a colleague, and we usually get along very well. We don't really distinguish between using each other's belongings. About a week ago, he went for a health check-up because he felt unwell, and the result showed he has hepatitis B. Now I'm a bit worried and upset, not knowing if I might have been infected.Doctor's answer:
Liver disease is different from other diseases in that it has a strong compensatory ability. Most patients, even those in the stage of cirrhosis, remain asymptomatic and only discover it during health check-ups. However, a small portion of patients may experience symptoms such as general fatigue, weakness, decreased appetite, yellow skin and urine, nausea, aversion to greasy food, nausea and vomiting, and a sense of discomfort or dull pain in the liver area.For hepatitis B patients, in addition to symptomatic treatment, they should also pay attention to maintaining deep sleep throughout their lives. Sufficient deep sleep is essential to help them recover from the disease as quickly as possible. I hope the above information can assist you. Thank you!
