Patient's question:
Doctor, a colleague of mine hasn't been able to eat dinner regularly for a while. Whenever they do, they feel nauseous and want to vomit. They also frequently experience abdominal pain and pain in the liver area. Later, they found out that they had hepatitis B. What exactly should I do to prevent hepatitis B infection?Doctor's answer:
Hepatitis B is mainly spread through the transmission of the virus, which can be disseminated through contact, sexual activity, and blood. Those without antibodies need to receive the hepatitis B vaccine for prevention. Frequently eating at restaurants increases the risk of infection. Therefore, it is essential to develop antibodies to avoid infection. Regular exercise can enhance the body's immunity. Hepatitis infection is difficult to cure and can persist in the body for a long time, so it is necessary to suppress the progression of the disease. Protective measures should be taken during sexual activity. Patients with hepatitis should undergo regular check-ups.
