One of the prominent signs of hepatitis B is jaundice, that's the yellowing of the eyes and skin. The stool color will become pale, the urine becomes dark or kinda brown in colour. The person would also experience lack of appetite, weight loss, tiredness and abdominal pain. Those are the signs and symptoms.
The major way to avoid contracting this disease, aside practicing safe segz is by getting vaccinated. Before one takes the vaccine, a test would be done to ensure that the person is negative, after which the vaccine would be given.
