Question: I am XXXXXXX 28 Years old and would like to describe the events to you. Please share you expertise as I am very worried.
On night 15 XXXXXXX 17 - I had my first ever sex encounter and protected sex with CSW for a less half a minute (Just an intercourse and nothing else as I was very scared) and CSW had applied some lotion before the intercourse. Post this i am mentally disturbed
Then on 20 May till 22 May - I last had Non veg food on 1 XXXXXXX 2017 and was not been having non veg and alcohol for 4 months till 20 May, but on this day I had Chicken in a regular Dhaba I use to visit and have a Strong Beer – felt heavy gastric and fullness in stomach already and bloated. Note: I have always had this Gastric problem coming and going - Bloated, acidity, burning sensation in stomach, acid regression as my life style is of software engineer and no Physical activity and had more chicken and more beer and whisky at same place with having gastric symptoms like passing fouls smelling gas and the stool was shiny and soft with light Yellow with some pungent smell
On 23 May - Now I had mucus in my stools and it increased a little more next days - No loose motion. But I use to Pass gas and stool both at a time and I saw the stool very closely it was having a little pink I think it was blood and got panicked also started to had pains/cramps (I don’t know what was it) in both sides of stomach hip region and sometime pains in centre of stomach coming and going.
Then Again on 26 May i had lots of stomach bloating as I had skipped meals as I was not hungry and built more gastric but I had more beer and smoked more and had vomiting sensation – stools was loose and saw a light red / pink and I am sure it was blood again I had pains in side of stomach and centre and below right ribs ( I was very scared as I had read it has liver on the right side of body) and sometimes I had pains left ribs also (sensation and cramps in sides of stomach) and burning sensation in anus and feeling of sum thing coming out after passing stools and randomly. Then I went to General Physician and told him all these - he told I have IBS and gave me prePo IBS for 6 days and then I was taking it and mucus stopped by stools also were hard.
On 30 may - I was not feeling hungry and had the same feeling of pains under rib and sides of stomach went to same doc he advised me to take TAXMIM 1-0-1 OZ - 5 days with PrePro IBS tab as I had some infection he told.

From past some months the pain and craps have reduced as I am maintain a good diet and eating habit. Whenever I have more gastric problem I feel pains below my ribs right side but now I am fine with no pains. I have read and always checking Hep B symptoms and I am very disturbed and unable to work.

Brief Answer:
Please don't worry!
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you writing in healthcare magic.
I have read carefully your history and your lab results and according my experience I think that you shouldn't worry because these are not the signs of an acute hepatitis B.
I have seen that you have a moderate increase in value of tot bilirubin that in your case is not related to hep B.
Furthermore, you should know that there is no risk to get Hep B after a protected intecourse .
As well you should know that after the virus enters the body, there is an incubation period lasting 1.5 to 6 months (average 4 months) until illness begins.
Your symptoms after 8 months are not related with hepatitis B infection.
Usually, it is imperative in all country to do vaccination for hepatitis B.
Did you rember if you have done?
I hope my answer helps you.
Regards.

Some doctors have told me and also i have read in good websites as they will be no symptoms in hep b infections at all like it will be silent ? is it true i get scared by this thought?
I just had a protected sex and inventive for less than 2 min? i am worried as i touched the condom ( it will have vaginal fluid) when i removed it will it not cause transmission to my penis as i would have touched the tip of penis with same hand ?
Have you seen any hep b positive people with out symptoms?

Brief Answer:
I have seen patient that are hep B positive without symptoms.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I am sorry for my late response.
You should know that hep is spread when people come in contact with the blood, open sores, or body fluids(unprotected sexual intercourse) of someone who has the hep B virus.So, if you have had protected sexual intercourse there is no risk to get hep B in this situation.
But if you have touched the vaginal fluid and than the penis ( if you have open sores in your penis) there could exist a risk to get hep B.
Yes it is true, that the symptoms may not show up until 1 to 6 months after you get the virus and you may not feel anything.
Yes I have seen patient that are hep B positive without symptoms.
Based on your question to find the right answer you should test for hep B.
Usually in my experience, elevation of bilirubin could be as a result of other reasons. In your case you have normal AST,ALT and this is a good sign.
I hope my answer helps you.
Regards.

Brief Answer:
Please don't worry ! These symptoms are not related to HEP B.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I am sorry for my late response.
Based on your above mentioned symptoms, please don't worry because they are not related to HEP B.
All these symptoms could be as a result of a throat infection ( strep throat or viral infection).
But, to define better the diagnosis you should do a physical examination by a doctor, full blood count, abdominal ultrasound and a throat culture test.
If you have a bacterial infection I think that you should continue antibiotic (azithral).
I hope my answer helps you.
Regards.
