Patient's question:
My uncle has recently started showing some unusual physical symptoms again. He hasn't had proper dinners for several days now, and his body has become extremely thin. Later, this gradually developed into discomfort in the liver. After a thorough examination, it was found that he had hepatitis. How is hepatitis transmitted?Doctor's answer:
In recent years, an increasing number of hepatitis virus carriers have emerged. As people's quality of life and material enjoyment gradually improve, unclean dining in public places have become a trigger for hepatitis viruses. The main transmission routes of hepatitis viruses include mother-to-child transmission, blood, sexual contact, and body fluids. Generally, if you prevent these kinds of close contacts, it is not easy to get infected. It is best to avoid close contact with hepatitis virus carriers around you. Additionally, annual physical examinations are very important, as they can help detect whether you have been infected by the virus early on. In fact, having hepatitis is not terrible. Patients should believe that they can overcome the disease. As long as timely treatment is provided when detected early, the chances of stabilizing the condition and recovering are very high.
