Patient's question:
Grandpa was carefully checked this month and found to have hepatitis B. His complexion is yellow, and his appetite is poor. We live with Grandpa, and everyone says that hepatitis B is contagious. So, I'm a bit worried that this disease might spread to me. Can this disease be transmitted? Can hepatitis B be contagious?Doctor's answer:
Hepatitis B carriers will never be infected after birth if the virus is eliminated. The main route of infection is blood transmission. Close contact can also spread the virus. If a hepatitis B-positive mother experiences cracked, chapped, or broken nipples, she should stop and change the diaper to prevent infection. Avoid any further bodily fluid contact with the child, such as kissing and feeding.It is not advisable to consume too much high-sugar and high-calorie food: This is because high sugar can lead to the formation of low-density lipids in the liver. When a person's triglycerides rise, blood flow slows down, blood viscosity increases, and red blood cells and platelets may clump together and block microvessels.
