Symptoms of hepatitis C.
The early symptoms of hepatitis C are not obvious, but with the continuous development of the situation, it will still show corresponding symptoms. These symptoms are similar to those of hepatitis B, usually with flu, loss of appetite and bad taste. A few people have nausea, vomiting, jaundice and renal failure. Of course, if these situations occur, it is best to go to the hospital to see if there is infection.
Hepatitis C virus itself is contagious, so some of you have hepatitis C, so you must disinfect it in time, and you'd better take a few injections yourself. Hepatitis C virus is mainly transmitted through blood, while mother-to-child contact, sexual contact and daily intimate contact with wounds are all. And this virus will also be hidden.
Hepatitis C can be divided into acute and chronic. Acute symptoms are mild, such as fatigue and loss of appetite. Some patients will have nausea accompanied by low fever and mild hepatomegaly, and jaundice is rare. If the virus of acute patients cannot turn negative within 6 months, it will turn into chronic hepatitis C, and some patients with chronic hepatitis C will have abdominal pain and liver pain. Although the symptoms of hepatitis C are mild, if it is not treated in time, the chances of developing cirrhosis and liver cancer are very high.
Prevention methods of hepatitis C
1, strengthen medical and health care, including strengthening anti-HCV screening of blood donors and organ transplant donors; Strengthen the strict testing of blood products to ensure safety and pollution-free; Increase the publicity of measures to prevent hepatitis C infection.
2. Prohibition of drugs. If you inject drugs intravenously, you don't like needles or other tools. If intravenous injection or other medical purposes are needed, sterile syringes should be used. Intravenous injection is related to more than half of the new cases of hepatitis C. Not using unclean syringes is one of the best ways to stop the spread of hepatitis C.
3. Don't use a toothbrush. The toothbrush may be contaminated by blood. People with oral ulcers can easily get blood on their toothbrushes. Most people don't share toothbrushes with others, but some people don't care.
4. Don't use a razor. Compared with using syringes, using your own things such as razors, toothbrushes and nail clippers can reduce the risk of infection. However, as long as there is blood, there is a risk of contracting hepatitis C.
5. Use condoms. Generally speaking, the probability of sexually transmitted hepatitis C is very low. But when there are multiple * * *, the chance of infection increases. Similarly, the chances of contracting AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases will increase. So for your own safety, you'd better use condoms.
6. Go to a regular place to get a tattoo. Tattooing and piercing are not high-risk activities for hepatitis C infection. However, if the syringes or other syringes used are not properly disinfected and used by infected people, they are prone to blood-borne diseases, such as hepatitis C or AIDS.
For your own health, once you have symptoms of hepatitis C, you should seek medical advice in time to avoid delaying your illness.
