Hepatitis B is a viral infection that primarily affects the liver. It is caused by the Hepatitis B virus (HBV), which can be transmitted through contact with infected blood, semen, or other bodily fluids. Hepatitis B can manifest as an acute or chronic condition, with symptoms including fatigue, fever, nausea, abdominal pain, and jaundice. Chronic Hepatitis B can lead to serious liver complications such as cirrhosis and liver cancer. Prevention strategies include vaccination, practicing safe sex, avoiding needle sharing, and screening pregnant women for HBV. While there is no cure for Hepatitis B, antiviral medications can help manage the infection and reduce the risk of complications. Regular monitoring is essential for individuals with chronic Hepatitis B to assess disease progression and determine the need for treatment adjustments.
