Patient's question:
I carefully checked in February of this year and found that I have chronic hepatitis B, but my liver function is normal. Now I notice that I have lost some weight compared to before. Is it due to the influence of chronic hepatitis B?Doctor's answer:
You discovered hepatitis B during your health check-up, but your liver function is normal, indicating that you are a hepatitis B carrier. The hepatitis B virus has reached a state of "peaceful coexistence" with your body. Hepatitis B is primarily spread through blood transmission, mother-to-child transmission, and sexual contact. However, it is not entirely ruled out that it can be transmitted through breast milk, saliva, and other routes. However, casual contact such as working together, eating dinner, sexual activity, and daily life interactions without blood exposure will not transmit hepatitis B.It is recommended that you continue with your normal work, pay attention to rest, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and reduce the intake of greasy and spicy foods. Avoid smoking and alcohol. Regularly recheck your liver function, liver and gallbladder ultrasound, and AFP. Seek follow-up treatment promptly if any changes occur.
In addition to immediate treatment, patients with hepatitis B should also pay attention to maintaining a positive mood in daily life. A good mood is very helpful for the complete recovery of the disease.
