Symptoms of hepatitis B
Symptoms of hepatitis B 1: Patients with systemic symptoms of hepatitis B often feel weak, easily tired and unable to get up, which may be caused by pathological reasons such as impaired liver function, increased physical exertion, decreased food intake, food digestion and absorption disorders, and insufficient nutrient intake. On the other hand, besides physical pain, mental state and depression caused by external mental and psychological pressure can also cause systemic symptoms.
Symptoms of hepatitis B: Symptoms of digestive tract The liver is an important digestive organ, and bile secreted by the liver is necessary for food digestion. When liver disease occurs, bile secretion is affected, which in turn affects the digestion and absorption of food, resulting in symptoms of hepatitis B such as loss of appetite, nausea, aversion to oil, epigastric discomfort and abdominal distension.
Symptom 3 of hepatitis B: Jaundice liver is the key to bilirubin metabolism. When the condition is serious, the bilirubin metabolism function of the liver is damaged, which leads to the increase of bilirubin concentration in the blood and jaundice. When the concentration of bilirubin in the blood increases, bilirubin is excreted from the urine, which makes the urine darker. It is the earliest manifestation of jaundice.
It should be noted that drinking too little water or some drugs can also cause yellow urine, so we should pay attention to the difference. When the concentration of bilirubin in blood continues to rise, it can cause jaundice in eyes and skin, and severe jaundice can cause skin itching.
Symptoms of hepatitis B 4: Pain in the liver area Pain in the liver area is one of the main symptoms of hepatitis B, and hepatitis B generally has no severe pain. When the liver is red and swollen, the liver capsule is tense and the pain nerve is stimulated, which can cause dull pain, dull pain and discomfort in the liver area. If the pain is severe, the possibility of other diseases should be suspected.
Symptoms of hepatitis B 5: Skin manifestations Many patients with chronic hepatitis, especially liver cirrhosis, have a dull complexion due to long-term endocrine disorder, persistent or repeated jaundice and biliverdin on the skin, which is called liver disease face. Spider-like capillary clusters ranging from several millimeters to several centimeters can appear on the patient's face, neck, chest and back of hand, which are called spider nevus.
Symptom 6 of hepatitis B: Other manifestations: Men may have erectile dysfunction, symmetric or asymmetric breast hyperplasia, pain, or even be misdiagnosed as breast cancer and undergo mastectomy; Women may have menstrual disorders, amenorrhea and decreased libido. These may be related to the decline of liver function, the decrease of estrogen inactivation and the increase of estrogen in the body.
Self-test whether there is hepatitis B.
First, patients with hepatitis B will feel poor appetite at the initial stage of the disease, accompanied by abdominal distension and unpleasant eating. Secondly, indigestion in patients with hepatitis B is very common, and in severe cases, there will be symptoms such as anorexia, greasy, nausea and vomiting. This is mainly because the liver is an organ that secretes bile. A large number of liver cells of patients with hepatitis B are destroyed, and the function of secreting bile will naturally decline, which will affect the digestion and absorption of food. The most important thing is the decline of liver function, the decline of liver detoxification function and the accumulation of toxins in the body, which will also lead to loss of appetite and indigestion.
Second, as we all know, the phenomenon of white eyeball and yellow skin is called jaundice. Jaundice is one of the most easily found manifestations of hepatitis. When jaundice forms, the skin mucosa turns yellow, most obviously the white eyeball turns yellow. Sometimes the yellow eyeball is not obvious in the light, but it is easy to identify outdoors. If the human liver is damaged, the patient's bilirubin will definitely increase, which will cause yellow face and yellow eyes.
Third, fatigue and weakness are also one of the early symptoms of hepatitis B patients. Patients with mild symptoms generally show inactivity; But serious patients will be bedridden and even too lazy to eat. Even if they have enough sleep, they still feel tired. This is due to the patient's loss of appetite and problems in digestion and absorption, which leads to insufficient energy intake by the human body, thus causing serious general weakness.
Fourth, patients with hepatitis B often have fever, but those with high fever are rare. Fever usually lasts for 3 to 5 days, which is similar to a cold, so patients will mistakenly think it is a "cold" to see a doctor.
Fifth, patients with hepatitis B often have symptoms of liver pain. At the time of onset, the liver is swollen, and the patient may feel a needle-like pain in the liver area, or there is a heavy thing hanging there, sometimes not. Most people can stand it. When the patient is angry, tired or overworked, the pain will be obviously aggravated and can be relieved by bed rest.
To sum up, we introduced five kinds of symptoms that can help you carry out self-test of hepatitis B. Some symptoms are similar to those of other diseases. Therefore, we remind you that you must have regular liver function tests to prevent your illness from being delayed. Experts remind that early detection of hepatitis B symptoms can well control the disease, and patients with mild symptoms can be relieved as long as they pay more attention to their daily lives.
How to prevent hepatitis B
If you want to prevent hepatitis B, then your first thought may be hepatitis B vaccine. After the first injection, don't forget to take the second injection one month later and the third injection five months later. Although hepatitis B can't be completely eliminated, we can't just sit still. Medicine is very developed now. When hepatitis B is in the human body for six months, it is very likely to be cured. But after this hurdle, no one is sure At present, drugs can not completely clean up patients with chronic hepatitis B.
Can eating and kissing be contagious at ordinary times?
Eating at ordinary times will not infect hepatitis B virus. In daily life, we don't have to deliberately avoid hepatitis B patients, because normal work and study are not contagious without contact with blood. As long as you keep normal contact, even if you are in an environment for a long time, there is no problem. Many hepatitis B patients are most afraid of other people's strange eyes. Be more tolerant and don't have special ideas. In addition, kissing is usually not contagious, unless the mouth is broken, contact with blood is likely to be contagious, but most of them are not, so don't worry too much. If among the people you know, you are close to her, not just friends, or have had close contact with her, then I suggest you have a check-up in time.
