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 injections. Can someone with hepatitis B () smoke?Doctor's answer:
No matter what kind of disease it is, smoking is definitely harmful to the body. However, chronic hepatitis B is a contagious viral hepatitis. At this stage, the virus's copy number is relatively high, and it is prone to cause certain damage to the body. Since the damage is to the liver, drinking beer will also cause certain damage to the liver and is absolutely something that should be avoided. If you smoke, it's best to quit, as some of the toxins need to be detoxified by the liver.
