Preventing hepatitis B: Cutting off the transmission route and protecting health is a common chronic viral hepatitis B. Patients often experience symptoms such as fever, tiredness, abdominal distension, and nausea, and it is difficult to treat hepatitis B. In the face of such a stubborn disease, preventing hepatitis B is key. Understanding how hepatitis B is transmitted and cutting off the route of transmission is key to preventing hepatitis B. Hepatitis B is mainly transmitted through blood, mother-to-child transmission and sexual transmission. Blood-borne transmission is the main route of transmission, such as in the case of a medical malpractice in which surgical instruments or equipment are not thoroughly cleaned or sterilized.
In addition, hepatitis B can also be triggered by transfusions of plasma/clear, whole blood, or blood products carrying the hepatitis B virus. Mother-to-child transmission is another common route of transmission, with more than 30% of people living with hepatitis B being transmitted through mother-to-child transmission. In addition, sexual transmission can also lead to the spread of hepatitis B. First, medical and health institutions should strengthen infection control measures, standardize operating procedures, and ensure the cleanliness and disinfection of instruments and equipment. Second, pregnant women should be tested for hepatitis B virus before pregnancy and, if they are carrier, receive timely interventions to reduce mother-to-child transmission.
Also, use condoms during sex to avoid sexually transmitted hepatitis B. In addition to raising awareness of personal protection, government departments should also increase publicity on hepatitis B, popularize hepatitis B knowledge, and raise public health awareness. At the same time, medical and health institutions should strengthen the training of medical personnel, improve the awareness of infection control and operation norms of medical personnel, so as to avoid the occurrence of medical accidents. There is still a long way to go to prevent hepatitis B. Only by strengthening the understanding of the transmission routes of hepatitis B and taking effective measures to cut off the transmission routes can we protect the health of the public.
Everyone has a vital role to play in preventing hepatitis B. What else do you think are important in terms of how hepatitis B is transmitted?
