Patient's question:
Recently, our company organized a health check-up. The blood test results showed a positive presence of the hepatitis B virus. The doctor told me that I have hepatitis B and need timely treatment. I would like to ask how hepatitis B is transmitted, how long it takes to recover, and whether it will affect my health in the future?Doctor's answer:
You recently discovered a positive result for hepatitis B virus during your health check-up, indicating that you have been infected with the hepatitis B virus. This virus is contagious and is usually spread through body fluids. It can cause liver damage, leading to cirrhosis or liver cancer. It is recommended to visit the hepatobiliary department of your hospital for a follow-up examination, improve the examination, and allow the doctor to prescribe antiviral medication. This medication needs to be taken long-term, with the specific treatment duration generally lasting over one year. Pay attention to a light diet and avoid drinking beer.
