Patient's question:
I am 38 years old. Recently, I feel that my liver is very tired. I haven't had a good appetite, and at night, I always feel a sharp pain in my stomach. I went to the nearby hospital for a check-up and was told it was liver disease. They asked me to get an injection. Can hepatitis B be transmitted?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the main routes of transmission for hepatitis B are blood transmission, sexual transmission, and mother-to-child transmission. There is a certain level of transmissibility only under conditions of abnormal liver function and a high viral load. Currently, it is recommended to test liver function to check for transmissibility. If there is transmissibility, medication should be used as early as possible for regulation, and close contacts should ideally receive the hepatitis B vaccine to produce antibodies, which will prevent such transmission.
