What is Hep B?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
7. Symptoms
Many of the symptoms of hepatitis B can be quite mild. Indeed, many people with the disease won’t even be aware they have it. Other patients are not so fortunate, however, and can experience some very unwelcome symptoms. When symptoms do show, it is not usually until around one to four months after the initial infection took place.
When symptoms do arise, they can include pain in the abdomen, nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite. A fever and joint pain will also likely develop, and the patient can also begin to feel fatigued. The patient will also likely have dark urine, and jaundice can also develop.
