Patient's question:
I've been working as a temporary worker at the factory for many years. Due to irregular eating habits, I often eat at small stores outside, sometimes missing meals. I'm worried about the hygiene conditions, as several colleagues at the factory have been tested positive for hepatitis. However, I usually don't have any symptoms. I'm a bit upset about the possibility of getting infected, especially since we eat and live together.Doctor's answer:
Hepatitis is divided into several types, including A, B, C, D, E, and G, each with further subtypes. Among these, hepatitis B and C are primarily transmitted through blood products and sexual contact, while the others are typically spread through the digestive tract. The most reliable method is to receive vaccination at a hospital or local health department.Wishing you good health. Hepatitis causes significant harm to patients, so it is crucial to seek medical attention promptly upon noticing symptoms. Additionally, pay close attention to dietary habits, focusing on light and nutritious foods. We hope that hepatitis patients can receive professional treatment.
