Patient's question:
I went to the Yunnan Liver Disease Research Institute, Yunnan Xinhua, to handle some matters yesterday for a thorough examination. The examination results showed that I am an hepatitis B carrier. The doctor said that my current condition does not require treatment, just attention to daily diet is sufficient. Can hepatitis B carriers be contagious?Doctor's answer:
Hepatitis B virus carriers are potentially infectious, as they carry the hepatitis B virus and can transmit it to others through various routes of infection. It is recommended that family members and friends get vaccinated against hepatitis B promptly and undergo a thorough hepatitis B panel test. In addition, during the treatment of hepatitis B, apart from medication, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also very important. The patient must maintain a light diet and consistently keep a cheerful and optimistic mindset to avoid unnecessary impacts on the complete recovery from hepatitis B.
