Brief answer.....get the test for hepatitis B to relieve yourself of stress
Detailed answer.....
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
I have read your query and understand your concern.
Basically speaking you have two concerns now.
1... Whether you have hepatitis B or not
2.... Regarding itching
Hepatitis B infection may not cause any symptom. In acute stage you may have fatigue,yellow urine,pain abdomen,bloating,nausea,muscle and joint pains etc. most of the patients clear their virus in six months time. Some people are unable to get rid of virus in six months time and then they are called as having chronic hepatitis B infection. Symptoms of chronic infection are vague like poor appetite,malaise,fatigue etc. jaundice is generally absent in chronic infection.
Although there are various tests to diagnose hepatitis but you can get a simple test called as hepatitis B surface antigen test ( HBSag ) which is positive in both acute as well as chronic hepatitis B infection.
A negative HBSag RULES OUT hepatitis B infection.
Itching can be present in hepatitis B infection.
Your itching seems to be due to probable fungal infection in your groin area.
Apply CLOTRIMAZOLE oint locally twice a day for 3-4 weeks
Eat tablet ALLEGRA 180 mg one every night for 2 weeks.
I hope it helps,however you are most welcome to revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck
Thanks

Hello,
I will answer your query one by one.....
1....as written earlier one may have or not have any symptoms. These symptoms are vague and not very specific as written earlier.
2.....hepatitis B is definitely transferred by unprotected sex
3...your LFT reports are normal.
4... A person can go to chronic infection stage if acute stage fails to clear up. Yes one can be chronically infected with hepatitis B without having any symptom or jaundice or with normal liver reports.
At the end I would like to state that don't stress yourself unnecessarily. Just go and get a simple blood test called as HBSag. It will clear all the doubts.
Thanks
