Is Hepatitis B virus contagious?

The liver is an important organ in the human body. Once problems occur, it will cause great harm to the body and will also affect the family. Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a relatively common liver disease that is quite harmful to patients and makes many people "shudder at the mention of liver disease". Experts warn that the presence of hepatitis B seriously endangers the patient's health. Once you have hepatitis B, you must seek treatment as soon as possible to avoid delaying the disease and causing more serious harm.

According to experts, Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is the most serious form of hepatitis B. It is highly contagious, the virus replicates actively, and it can cause serious damage to the liver. Many people are scared when they hear about diseases that are contagious. In fact, some infectious diseases are not that scary. As long as we avoid the transmission routes, we will not be infected. So what are the transmission routes of hepatitis B? Let's learn about it together.

Experts say that hepatitis B virus (HBV) is highly contagious. However, the chance of contracting hepatitis B virus (HBV) through daily contact is not high. Because the main transmission routes of hepatitis B virus (HBV) are blood, body fluids, and close contact, and most patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV) acquire the disease through familial vertical transmission. It is not easy to be infected with Hepatitis B through normal contact in daily life.

Sexual life is the most basic need between couples, so it is wrong and unrealistic to require patients with hepatitis B to completely abstain from sex. At the same time, in order to avoid infection with hepatitis B virus, sexual life between couples should be observed and understood, and a certain degree of restraint is required. If patients indulge in their sexual life, liver disease may recur repeatedly or worsen. During the period of liver function fluctuations, serum transaminase and bilirubin rise, and sexual intercourse between couples should be stopped immediately. The spouse of a hepatitis B patient must be immunized to ensure that there is no risk of any accidents. If the above protective measures are not taken, you must use condoms or other protective measures before having sex.

The above is an introduction to the transmission problem of hepatitis B virus (HBV), I hope it will be helpful to you. Experts remind patients with hepatitis B to seek timely and active treatment to avoid worsening of the disease and causing harm to themselves and their families. Patients with hepatitis B need to control their diet, avoid drinking alcohol, eating spicy foods, overeating, and eat more green vegetables.
