The mainland was once a big country with liver disease, and the most common type of liver disease is hepatitis B.
According to a data released by the WHO, about 400,000 people die every year from hepatitis-related complications in China, and there are currently about 70 million chronic hepatitis B patients in the mainland, of which 28 million need treatment.
In fact, hepatitis B, which is known as the "silent epidemic", is not familiar to most people, and many infected people do not understand their own condition.
Hepatitis B, in fact, is not as easy to contagious as imagined
According to the data, liver disease is the first class B infectious disease in the mainland.
Hepatitis B virus can be transmitted through blood, mother-to-child and sexual contact, and the number of people infected with hepatitis B virus in mainland China is about 86 million, most of whom are hepatitis B virus carriers.
Therefore, daily work, hugging, eating, common dormitories, etc., do not infect hepatitis B, and the contagion capacity of hepatitis B is not as strong as everyone thinks.
If left untreated, hepatitis B can also turn into cirrhosis
Carriers of the hepatitis B virus are not equal to hepatitis B patients.
Liver function in patients with hepatitis B has begun to develop lesions, so it needs to be treated in time, otherwise it is likely to cause cirrhosis.
Once the patient develops cirrhosis, it is more troublesome.
It is understood that hepatitis B disease, if not treated in time, is likely to gradually evolve into liver cancer. Usually, it takes only two steps to develop from hepatitis B to liver cancer, the first of which is hepatitis B- cirrhosis.
After reaching this stage, the patient's immune function and liver metabolic capacity will be abnormal, and the liver will be in repeated damage, in the process of repair, so that the liver continues to shrink, necrosis, and eventually cause liver cancer.
Patients should actively take measures to block the development of hepatitis B to liver cancer
1. Quit drinking
If the patient has a long-term drinking habit, after being infected with the hepatitis B virus, they should be withdrawn as soon as possible. It is understood that alcohol can cause damage to the liver of patients and increase the risk of liver cirrhosis in patients.
At the same time, alcohol also promotes the development of hepatitis B virus, which enhances its damage to the liver, thereby promoting the occurrence of liver cancer diseases. In this regard, in ordinary life, patients should strictly prohibit drinking.
Second, maintain good living and eating habits
It is best not to stay up late to ensure adequate sleep time to protect the liver.
Secondly, in terms of diet, patients should also pay special attention to eating more high-protein foods and eating less spicy and high-calorie foods so as not to bring unnecessary burdens to the liver.
3. Prohibition of drug abuse
Listening to some folk remedies at will and eating some health care products at will is likely to lead to drug-induced liver damage in patients, thereby increasing the risk of patients suffering from cirrhosis and even liver cancer.
4. Regular review
Regular examinations can help doctors diagnose elevated liver enzymes in patients and treat them in a timely manner.
Not only that, regular review can also understand the patient's medication situation to avoid the problem of drug rejection.
If the patient has stopped taking the drug, this test can help the doctor to relapse as soon as possible, so that the response can be better taken.
The occurrence of hepatitis B is related to the immune system in the patient's body, and from hepatitis B to liver cancer, it is a relatively long process. In this process, patients should strengthen exercise and enhance their own immunity, thereby preventing the occurrence of liver cancer.
Not only that, patients should also try to maintain an optimistic attitude and avoid the influence of some bad emotions, such as anger, anxiety, etc.
The best way to prepay for hepatitis B is actually two words
-------- prevention!
The cleanest and most effective way to prevent hepatitis B is to get the hepatitis B vaccine, and after vaccination, it is necessary to review the amount of protective antibodies produced, and it is necessary to continue to vaccinate.
In fact, we don't need to panic, this disease is actually an ordinary disease, and it will not affect daily work and study.
However, fortunately, with the popularization of hepatitis B vaccine, the mainland has also successfully taken off the hat of "hepatitis B country" in previous years! Congratulations!
