Patient's question:
I am 38 years old. Recently, I feel that my liver is very tired. I haven't had much 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 advised me to get an injection. Could you please tell me what the transmission routes are for hepatitis A and hepatitis B, and how to prevent them?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it's a pleasure to help you. Hepatitis A is mainly transmitted through the fecal-oral route, and there is a possibility of infection when eating dinner together. Hepatitis B is mainly transmitted through blood, but it can also be transmitted through sexual contact between spouses and mother-to-child transmission. Generally, normal social contact, such as clinking glasses, kissing, or eating dinner together, will never result in Hepatitis B infection. To prevent infection from these two diseases, the first step is to get vaccinated on time and undergo regular follow-up tests.
