Hello,
You must consult a Hepatologist so that the appropriate treatment will be prescribed. Concerning marriage, there is a very small possibility of sexual transmission to your wife. It is important that you avoid sharing razors, toothbrushes and nail clippers.

Hi Javed,
Welcome to HCM.
You can get married.
You should consult a Gastroenterologist regularly as advised by him, for the best management of your condition. Various tests may need to be done including ultrasound scan and Gastroscopy.
Fat free diet is advisable as far as possible. Absolutely no alcoholic drinks. Avoid consuming unnecessary medicines. Medicines should be kept to minimum.
May eat lot of sweets free of fat. B-complex vitamins are good. Eat lot of fresh green vegetables.
Wish you all the best.
Hello.Welcome.You must not delay your treatment which consists of interferon alpha and ribavarin.Untreated disease progresses to liver cirrhosis or hepatocellular carcinoma.Since disease is transmitted sexually the decision to get married is really very tough.Consult a Gastroenterologist for proper treatment.Good luck.
HELLO, YOU CAN HAPPILY GO FO MARRIAGE AS THE RISK OF SEXUAL, MATERNAL & NEONATAL TRANSMISSION IS VERY SMALL.IT IS MAINLY TRANSMITTED BY CONTAMINATED BLOOD & BLOOD PRODUCTS.AND HOUSEHOLD CONTACTS ARE RARE.DIET:PL TAKE MORE OF FRUIT JUICES,CORN FLAKES WITH SKIMMED MILK AND SUGAR, COOKED RICE& BREAD OR CHAPPATI. WITH COOKED VEGITABLES
