Hepatitis B: A Deadly Threat
Overview
Hepatitis B is a serious viral infection caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV). Similar to hepatitis C, it primarily targets the liver, often leading to lifelong complications. This dangerous virus can cause liver infection, cirrhosis (scarring), liver cancer, liver failure, and ultimately, death. Despite its severity, there is no need to panic as effective vaccines are available for all age groups. Hepatitis B ranks among the top ten deadliest viruses, responsible for numerous fatalities worldwide. Although less common in Europe, it remains prevalent in Asia, affecting countless individuals.
Transmission
HBV spreads through direct contact with infected blood, from an infected mother to her unborn child, and through unprotected sexual activity. Homosexual men face a higher risk of contracting hepatitis B. Unlike HIV, HBV is more easily transmissible due to higher concentrations in infected blood. The virus can survive outside the body, increasing its danger. Common transmission methods include sharing unsterilized needles, tattoo equipment, razors, and even nail clippers. Symptoms include abdominal pain, loss of appetite, fatigue, diarrhea, fever, dark urine, light-colored stools, and jaundice (yellowing of eyes and skin).
Preventive Measures and Home Care
- Manage Stress: Avoiding stress is crucial while managing the infection.
- Rest and Recovery: Ensure you get plenty of rest to help your body regain energy.
- Nutrient-Rich Diet: Maintain a diet rich in proteins, vitamins, and minerals for strength.
- Small, Frequent Meals: To combat nausea and loss of appetite, eat smaller meals regularly.
- Hydration is Key: Drink ample water to prevent dehydration.
- Boost with Liquids: Consume fruit juices, vegetable soups, and broths to enhance your strength.
- Manage Vomiting: Increase electrolyte intake to manage symptoms like vomiting.
