Can people with hepatitis B work night shifts?

Hepatitis B refers to chronic viral hepatitis B. In general, individuals with chronic viral hepatitis B should not work night shifts. The specific reasons are as follows:

Chronic viral hepatitis B commonly causes symptoms such as fatigue, nausea, abdominal distension, and liver area pain. Working night shifts prevents the liver from obtaining sufficient rest, impairs liver blood supply, further aggravates liver damage, worsens the aforementioned symptoms, and may even lead to complications such as gum bleeding, nosebleeds, menstrual disorders, and spider angiomas. Additionally, it may result in serious complications including cirrhosis, hepatic encephalopathy, and liver cancer.

Patients with chronic viral hepatitis B should maintain regular daily routines, eat a healthy diet, and develop good lifestyle habits.
