What are the routes of transmission of hepatitis C

summary

Hepatitis C may not be as well-known as hepatitis B. We know that although hepatitis C is not so well-known, it should be a kind of liver disease that people don't understand, but it can also cause serious liver disease, so we can't underestimate it. We also say that there is no vaccine to prevent the disease, so once we are diagnosed, we must see a doctor in time In addition, we should pay attention to our daily habits, keep a good attitude, be optimistic and open-minded, and the most important thing is not to be afraid of liver disease, which is beneficial to our condition. Let's share with you some knowledge about the transmission of hepatitis C.

What are the routes of transmission of hepatitis C

First of all, people who often expose their blood are vulnerable to the virus. For example, hemophilia patients, obstetrics and gynecology patients, surgeons and other patients are vulnerable to hepatitis C. In addition, intravenous drug addicts are also at high risk of infection.

Second, there is the spread of sexual contact. The incidence of hepatitis C is obviously related to sexual contact, especially to contact with multiple sexual partners. Therefore, we must pay attention to taking good care of ourselves. We should not indulge ourselves to infect ourselves with this disease.

Third: there is another kind of mother to child transmission. Of course, this mother to child transmission is not very common, but it should be noted. In addition, daily life contact can also infect this disease. Although blood transmission is the most effective way of transmission of hepatitis C, daily life contact can also spread, but the probability is relatively low.

matters needing attention

Finally, we would like to say that the mortality rate related to hepatitis C continues to increase, which is extremely harmful to the health and life of patients and has become a serious social and public health problem, so we must pay attention to it.
