Patient's question:
I am 38 years old. Recently, I feel that my liver is very tired. I haven't had a good appetite, and at night, I always feel a sharp pain in my stomach. I went to a nearby hospital for a check-up and was told it was liver disease. They advised me to get injections. How should I treat hepatitis C?Doctor's answer:
Hepatitis C is an infectious disease caused by hepatitis C virus infection, usually spread through blood or sexual contact. Antiviral treatment can generally be administered orally, while close monitoring of liver function is necessary. If transaminase levels rise, liver-protective treatment should be initiated. Daily dietary attention is important, including avoiding foods, adopting a low-fat diet, and consuming a high-protein and high-sugar diet.
