Patient's question:
I have no clinical diagnosis or symptoms, normal liver function, and have been positive for six months. Once I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and was diagnosed with hepatitis B. I took some medication, but it didn't help. My body doesn't feel any different, and I haven't experienced any symptoms. Is it true that hepatitis B infection and hepatitis B carriers can be contagious?Doctor's answer:
Common symptoms of hepatitis B include: discomfort in the liver area, mild pain, general fatigue, weakness, decreased appetite, nausea, aversion to greasy food, and vomiting. Sometimes, patients may have low-grade fever. In severe cases, jaundice may reappear, and it is important to seek medical attention promptly for follow-up. Hepatitis B is contagious, and patients are infectious when the number of HBV-DNA in their bodies reaches a certain level. The condition of liver disease is very serious, and patients are advised to seek timely treatment. It is hoped that patients can follow their doctors' advice for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, dietary issues should be paid attention to, avoiding spicy and irritating foods to prevent worsening the condition.
