Although both hepatitis C and hepatitis B are hepatitis, the pathogenesis is different. My neighbor's uncle got hepatitis C. at first, he was very afraid. He thought it was an incurable disease, and people became very negative. After his family's persuasion, he finally agreed to actively accept treatment, and now his condition is under control. Now let me share his experience with you!

How is hepatitis C treated

First: for a while, my uncle often felt hot, headache and weakness. He thought he had a cold, so he just took cold medicine instead of going to see a doctor. After a few days, not only did he not get better, but also he had vomiting and enlarged stomach. His family immediately sent him to the hospital.

Second: to the hospital, the doctor listened to his uncle's family about his illness, he had a blood test, diagnosed as hepatitis C. Uncle was very afraid after hearing about the disease, thinking that he was not saved. The doctor said that his condition is mild and can be controlled by medication.

He also told his uncle not to be too tired at ordinary times, to pay more attention to rest, to be more active, to give up smoking and drinking, and to exercise more.

matters needing attention

Avoid HCV infection in blood transmission channels. Since no hepatitis C vaccine has been developed, we have to be careful in this regard. In daily life, for example, when donating blood, we should pay attention to whether the hospital or medical institutions are formal, to avoid the phenomenon of repeated use of the same syringe; we should also pay attention to this situation when receiving blood injection. After blood donation, the hospital must stamp on the blood donation certificate, so as to prevent its own rights and interests from being infringed.
