Patient's question:
During the last physical examination, it was carefully discovered that I had hepatitis B with a small positive three-phase. The doctor said this disease is infectious, but I don't understand it very well because I don't have any wounds on my body, nor will there be any painful places, just occasionally a bit dizzy. Will hepatitis B be transmitted to others?Doctor's answer:
The hepatitis B virus is a hepatotropic virus that primarily resides within liver cells and damages them, leading to liver cell inflammation, suppuration, and fibrosis. Those who are infected can generally transmit the virus through sexual activity, close contact, or sharing daily items such as toothpaste and towels. Hepatitis B is a serious condition, and patients are advised to seek timely treatment and follow their doctors' recommendations for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, it is important to pay attention to self-care, maintain a proper diet, and avoid worsening the condition.
