Hepatitis B is liver inflammation or swelling caused by the Hepatitis B virus (HBV). It is a global public health threat and the world\u2019s most common serious liver infection. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/protect.checkpoint.com\/v2\/___https:\/\/www.hepb.org\/what-is-hepatitis-b\/what-is-hepb\/facts-and-figures\/%23:~:text=Hepatitis%20B%20Around%20the%20World&amp;text=Approximately%201.5%20million%20people%20become,of%20infected%20individuals%20are%20diagnosed.&amp;text=Approximately%20two%20people%20die%20each%20minute%20from%20hepatitis%20B.___.YXBzMTphZGl0eWFiaXJsYWNhcGl0YWw6YzpvOjljYzc3MWIxM2EzYWFkYmQyMjViZDliNWQ3YWVmNzNiOjY6ZjVjODoyMWU5OWE0MTY3MTcyNGFjZmQ1NmQ4NWI5OTVlYzMyOWE1NGUzOGY3MDExY2M0OTZmY2Y0ZTZmNGU3ZDA2NTVmOnA6VDpO\">Two billion people<\/a> <\/strong>around the world have been affected by the Hepatitis B virus.<\/p>\n<h2><strong id=\"What-is-Hepatitis-B?\">What is Hepatitis B?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Hepatitis B is a viral infection that attacks the liver and can cause both acute and chronic disease. Hepatitis B virus (HBV) can spread through contact with an infected person\u2019s blood, open sores, or body fluids. If you are infected with mild symptoms of HBV that last 6 months or less, your body will fight off the virus &#8211; you will be immune for the rest of your life and never get diagnosed with Hepatitis B again. But If you are diagnosed with it at birth or when you are younger than 6 years of age, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adityabirlacapital.com\/healthinsurance\/active-together\/2024\/06\/25\/hepatitis-cause-types\/\">Hepatitis B<\/a> <\/strong>can become a long-term chronic condition. It can lead to liver failure, cancer, or can even be fatal. There\u2019s no cure for chronic Hepatitis B. However, vaccinations can protect you from getting infected with this condition.<\/p>\n<h3>Hepatitis B vs Hepatitis C<\/h3>\n<p>The Hepatitis C virus (HCV) causes Hepatitis C. Hepatitis B and C have similar symptoms and you contract this condition through contact with the blood or body fluids of an infected person. The main difference between Hepatitis B and C is that there\u2019s a vaccine for Hepatitis B, but not for Hepatitis C. The best way to prevent HCV is by not sharing syringes with others.<\/p>\n<h3>How does Hepatitis B spread?<\/h3>\n<p>You get diagnosed with Hepatitis B when you come in contact with the blood, spit, semen, or other body fluids from a person infected with HBV. Its transmission can happen through saliva, but it doesn\u2019t spread through hugging, sharing food or water, sharing utensils, coughing, sneezing, or nursing.<\/p>\n<h2><strong id=\"Hepatitis-B-symptoms\">Hepatitis B symptoms<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If you contract HBV, you may have varied levels of symptoms, which include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adityabirlacapital.com\/healthinsurance\/active-together\/2024\/02\/13\/money-fever\/\">Fever<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Fatigue that lasts for weeks or months<\/li>\n<li>Loss of appetite<\/li>\n<li>Nausea<\/li>\n<li>Vomiting<\/li>\n<li>Belly pain<\/li>\n<li>Dark pee<\/li>\n<li>Light-colored stool<\/li>\n<li>Joint pain<\/li>\n<li>Jaundice (Your skin or the whites of the eyes turn yellow.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Acute Hepatitis B<\/h3>\n<p>You contract acute Hepatitis B usually within the first 6 months after you have been exposed to HBV. This is a short-term illness with either no or only mild symptoms. However, in some cases, the symptoms might become severe.<\/p>\n<h3>Chronic Hepatitis B<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-72720 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.adityabirlacapital.com\/healthinsurance\/active-together\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Chronic-Hepatitis-B-bg1.jpg\" alt=\"Chronic Hepatitis B_Activ living Community\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/533;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Chronic Hepatitis B is a chronic condition.

However, if you have signs of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adityabirlacapital.com\/healthinsurance\/active-together\/2022\/04\/19\/what-is-liver-cirrhosis-and-which-foods-ca\/\">liver disease<\/a><\/strong>, your doctor may prescribe any of the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Oral antiviral medicines<\/li>\n<li>Interferon shots &#8211; You generally get multiple injections over 6-12 months.<\/li>\n<li>Liver surgery or transplant &#8211; if you have serious damage from an HBV infection.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Treatment can:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Slow the advance of cirrhosis<\/li>\n<li>Reduce cases of liver cancer<\/li>\n<li>Improve long term survival.<\/li>\n<li>Most people who start hepatitis B treatment must continue it for life.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong id=\"Living-a-healthy-life-with-Hepatitis-B\">Living a healthy life\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Hepatitis B is preventable with a vaccine. All babies should receive the hepatitis B vaccine as soon as possible after birth (within 24 hours). This is followed by two or three doses of hepatitis B vaccine at least four weeks apart. Booster vaccines are not usually required for people who have completed the three-dose vaccination series. The vaccine protects against hepatitis B for at least 20 years and probably for life. Hepatitis B can be passed from mother to child. This can be prevented by taking antiviral medicines to prevent transmission, in addition to the vaccine.<\/p>\n<p>To reduce the risk of getting or spreading hepatitis B:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Practice safe sex by using condoms and reducing the number of sexual partners<\/li>\n<li>Avoid sharing needles or any equipment used for injecting drugs, piercing, or tattooing<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adityabirlacapital.com\/healthinsurance\/active-together\/2020\/05\/19\/5-tips-to-ensure-your-home-is-sanitised\/\">Wash your hands<\/a> <\/strong>thoroughly with soap and water after coming into contact with blood, body fluids, or contaminated surfaces<\/li>\n<li>Get a hepatitis B vaccine if working in a healthcare setting.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Whether or not you are taking medicine to ensure that you are living a healthy life with Hepatitis B, you must make a few changes to protect your liver, such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Avoiding alcohol.<\/li>\n<li>Eating a healthy, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adityabirlacapital.com\/healthinsurance\/active-together\/2023\/03\/01\/how-to-maintain-a-balance-diet\/\">balanced diet<\/a><\/strong> with a correct combination of vegetables, fruits, grains and cereals.<\/li>\n<li>Limiting how much fat and sugar you eat and drink.<\/li>\n<li>Check with your doctor before taking other drugs, herbs, or supplements because some can damage your liver.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Most adults who get hepatitis B recover fully within about 6 months. Infants and children who get hepatitis B are more likely to have a long-term infection. Prevention is better than cure, so get vaccinated. If you get a chronic infection, your doctor can help you manage your condition with medicine, ensuring you live a long, full life.<\/p>\n<div class=\"key-takeaway__content-wrap\">\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3 class=\"key-takeaway__sub-heading\">Key Takeaways<\/h3>\n<div class=\"key-takeaway__content\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hepatitis B symptoms include fever, persistent fatigue, and dark urine.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Causes include sharing needles, toothbrushes, or having sexual contact with an infected person.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Effective treatment options include intravenous fluids, pain management, and oral antiviral medications.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stay tuned to the Activ Living Community.
