Patient's question:
I am 38 years old. Recently, I feel my liver is very tired. I haven't had a good appetite. 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. Could you please tell me how hepatitis A is transmitted?Doctor's answer:
Hello, hepatitis A is mainly spread through food. If you consume food contaminated with hepatitis A virus, you are likely to contract hepatitis A. Hepatitis A is a self-limiting disease and is not severe. It only has an acute phase, no chronic phase, and will never progress to cirrhosis or primary liver cancer.
