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 the nearby hospital for a check-up and was told it was liver disease. They advised me to get injections. Could you please tell me about the prevention and treatment of hepatitis C?Doctor's answer:
The main mode of transmission of hepatitis C is through the bloodstream. Therefore, it is recommended that patients avoid contact with the blood of hepatitis C patients. Additionally, surgical procedures can also lead to the occurrence of hepatitis C. If one pays close attention in daily life, the probability of contracting hepatitis C for most patients remains relatively low. If you experience discomfort or pain in the upper right abdomen, it is advisable to visit a hospital early for a detailed ultrasound examination to prevent liver damage.
