Patient's question:
My liver has never been in good condition, and it might be related to hereditary factors. My mother in the family is a hepatitis patient, who has been relying on medication for many years. Although I don't have this disease, I have been a hepatitis B carrier since birth. This condition is like a time bomb that constantly troubles me. How can I prevent hepatitis in daily life?Doctor's answer:
Hepatitis comes in many different types. Hepatitis A is typically caused by gastrointestinal infections, so paying attention to dietary hygiene is sufficient. Hepatitis B is mainly transmitted through blood and mother-to-child transmission. Avoid using blood products casually. Other types of hepatitis, such as drug-induced hepatitis and fatty liver, are not infectious. In addition to timely treatment for hepatitis, patients should always maintain a positive attitude toward the disease. Only in this way can they reduce their immunity and the belief in fighting the disease. At the same time, they should pay close attention to their dietary care, primarily focusing on light foods and avoiding stimulating and cold foods, believing that this will surely drive away hepatitis.
