Patient's question:
I carefully checked for chronic hepatitis B a few weeks ago and was very upset about possibly infecting my family. Can chronic hepatitis B be transmitted?Doctor's answer:
Hepatitis B is infectious and is primarily spread through blood, mother-to-child transmission, and sexual contact. The spread of hepatitis B is unpredictable. It not only harms the health of the patient but may also cause harm to those around them. If left untreated, many patients will worsen, potentially developing into liver cirrhosis or liver cancer. Therefore, patients should undergo regular check-ups and adopt active symptomatic treatment based on their individual conditions. To treat hepatitis B, it is necessary to go to regular large hospitals. Each patient has a different constitution and level of infectivity, and each regular large hospital uses different treatment methods. Therefore, people must choose safe, effective, affordable, and more readily available medications based on the cause. Early treatment of hepatitis B is better for the patient and also the best time for treatment.
