A FEW FACTS ABOUT HEPATITIS YOU WOULD LOVE TO KNOW.
Do you know? the disease that kills faster than HIV? if you really what to know, then read this👇👇
First, it is a viral disease that causes infection and inflammation of the liver, it kills 1.5 a million people annually on a global scale, and this disease causes incurable liver cancer.
But today my primary concern is what this disease is all about. Their types, causes, symptoms, and preventive measures. The disease's name is "Hepatitis" yes ☑️ you heard me... you may have heard about Hepatitis...you may wonder the reason for this chitchat.
The scary thing about liver conditions like Hepatitis is that you may be living with it and not even be aware.
Hepatitis is classified into 5 but I would be discussing the 3 conversate ones which are A, B, and C.
Hepatitis A: is a short-term illness that reacts well to bed rest, hydration, and nutrition.
Hepatitis B and C are treated with antiviral medication for both the acute and chronic forms of it.
The liver plays an important role in filtering the blood, fighting infection, and passing nutrition, when the liver is compromised it can be serious.
People contract it through blood transfusion, unprotected sex, and the use of unsterilized materials used by an affected person.
Their symptoms Include the following. Fatigue
. Dark urine
. Abdominal pains
. yellow skin or eye(jaundice). When hepatitis B and C become chronic, they may cause no symptoms for years. By the time there are any warning signs, the liver may already be damaged.
Now ways to prevent " Hepatitis" both B and C.
1. Avoid the use of unsterilized materials such as razor blades, needles, use of spoons by an infected person.
2. Always check yourself from time to time. If need be, get vaccinated.
3. Get enlightened by reading books, and participating in awareness programs.
