Hepatitis B Virus – Awareness & Care by Dr. Sandeep Jha Hepatitis B is a potentially life-threatening liver infection caused by the Hepatitis B virus (HBV). It is a major global health concern, especially in countries like India, where the rate of chronic infection remains significant. The infection can be acute or chronic, and in many cases, may go unnoticed until it causes serious liver damage such as cirrhosis or liver cancer. Dr. Sandeep Jha, a trusted liver and gastrointestinal specialist, emphasizes early diagnosis and prevention as the most powerful tools in managing hepatitis B. The virus spreads through contact with infected blood or bodily fluids. Common modes include unprotected sex, sharing needles, unsafe blood transfusions, and from an infected mother to her baby at birth. It is not spread through casual contact like hugging, sneezing, or food sharing. Symptoms may not appear in the early stages but can include fatigue, jaundice, dark urine, abdominal pain, and nausea. Chronic infection often develops silently over years, making regular screening crucial for those at risk. Dr. Jha provides comprehensive hepatitis B care, including advanced diagnostics, liver function monitoring, and personalized treatment plans. For chronic cases, antiviral medications may be necessary to reduce liver inflammation and prevent complications. The best protection against HBV is vaccination. Dr. Jha strongly advocates timely hepatitis B vaccination, especially for newborns, healthcare workers, and people with multiple sexual partners or other risk factors. At Care & Cure Clinic, Dr. Sandeep Jha and his team are committed to liver health awareness, early intervention, and compassionate patient care.
