Patient's question:
My husband has been feeling unwell for the past two days. He felt very tired at work and also experienced abdominal pain. When he went to the hospital, he was diagnosed with hepatitis C. I am very worried. Doctor, how is hepatitis C treated?Doctor's answer:
Type C hepatitis is primarily caused by the transmission of HCV RNA copies. After diagnosis, active antiviral treatment is required, generally lasting around three months. After treatment, follow-up is necessary, and active and timely treatment of type C hepatitis can be alleviated. If you frequently experience abdominal pain, especially in the liver area, along with symptoms such as loss of appetite and fatigue, regular liver function tests and liver ultrasound examinations should be conducted to monitor liver conditions. When necessary, liver-protecting treatment should be combined.
