Can Hep C be Spread through Stick and Poke Needles Without Blood?

How is hep c spread? If I used a stick n poke needle with no blood

Dr. Samrat Jankar

Surgical Gastroenterologist

Answered on 23rd May '24

Transmission of hepatitis C may involve contact with infected blood and/or sharps such as needles. Even if the needle does not have any water therein, the stick and pokes use can still result in viral infections. It will be good to see a hepatologist or a gastroenterologist if you have reason to think your chances of Hepatitis C are high.

One side headache and Gas trouble problem

Male | 33

A one-sided he­adache may be caused by te­nsion or migraines. Gas trouble bloats your belly and make­s you uncomfortable. Avoiding gassy foods and drinking water helps. Try re­laxing to ease the he­adache too. Deep bre­aths or a cool cloth on your head may help.

Male | 23

Drinking alcohol frequently can lead to digestive issues and chest pain. These symptoms may be due to gastritis or acid reflux caused by alcohol irritating your stomach and esophagus. To help alleviate your symptoms, try to reduce or stop drinking alcohol and opt for a healthier diet with smaller meals. Drinking plenty of water can also aid digestion. If the issue persists, please seek medical advice.

Sir mere bete ko kala latrin horaha hai.kuch bhi khane per dard horaha hai. Endoscopy report me esophagus ke GE junction me 39 cm ka tumor bata raha hai. Please help kare.

Male | 20

If there are pains after eating and the stools are blackish, it could be a sign of some serious problem that is taking place inside the body. The 39 cm tumor at the junction of the esophagus and the stomach is the cause of this problem. These types of tumors can be malignant, hence, the person may face trouble swallowing as well as experience weight loss. The options of surgery or other methods such as chemotherapy or radiotherapy might be necessary to eliminate the tumor.

I wanted to ask why is there blood in my stool? I have had some blood in my poop before because of hemorrhoids, but I'm concerned now because this time it was more than just blood on the toilet paper, it was also on the toilet water and in the stool. When I did try to poop, it was hard and some part was sharp too, which is making me think that it was because of that, but I googled why and it made me overthink that I might have a serious problem.

Female | 15

Blood in stool can be caused by different causes like hemorrhoids, anal fissures, inflammatory bowel disease, infections, polyps. But, since there is also blood in the toilet water, so it will be prescient to consult a gastroenterologist immediately. They can do the physical examination, suggest tests, and give the required treatment.
