What's hepatitis
Hepatitis, by definition, is hepatitis. The liver is a very important organ in our body, and it's like a super factory that does a lot of detoxification, metabolism, storage of energy. If the liver is “sick”, the body will suffer。
Who's in the hepatitis family
Hepatitis is more than one type, mainly:
01
Hepatitis a
It is mainly transmitted by eating and drinking, such as eating contaminated food or water, which may be successful. This type of hepatitis usually does not stay in the body for long, but when it occurs, people are uncomfortable, such as nausea, vomiting, yellow slurp。
02
Hepatitis b
This is more powerful and can be transmitted through blood, mother-to-child transmission and sexual transmission. Once infected, they may persist in the body and even become chronic hepatitis, causing considerable liver damage。
03
Hepatitis c
It is mainly transmitted through blood, such as blood transfusions, the use of unclean syringes, etc. It can also easily turn into chronic hepatitis and may have little early symptoms, which may be serious when discovered。
04
Hepatitis d
It is unique and needs to be in combination with hepatitis b in order to develop a disease, and it is transmitted in the same way as hepatitis b。
05
Hepatitis e
Similar to hepatitis a, it is spread by eating and drinking, although it is particularly harmful to pregnant women and can have serious consequences。

How terrible is hepatitis
World hepatitis day
Globally, one person dies from hepatitis-related diseases every 30 seconds, and this silent “health killer” is threatening human life at an alarming rate. How terrible is hepatitis? It brings not only physical pain, but also a serious challenge to the quality of life and the hope of survival。
Hepatic damage
Hepatitis can cause hepatitis, swelling, even hepatitis fibrosis, cirrhosis of the liver, loss of function of the liver, deterioration of the detoxification capacity, and the absence of toxins in the body。
All-body symptoms: hepatitis makes people feel tired, mentally ill, their appetite deteriorates, and they may have yellow sprouts and their skin and eyes turn yellow。
Complications
Severe hepatitis can cause complications such as abdominal water, digestive haemorrhage and hepatitis, which can be dangerous and even life-threatening。
Impact on quality of life
Long-term hepatitis weakens patients, prevents them from working and living normally, and puts considerable psychological stress on them。
The harmful effects of hepatitis not only lead to liver damage, systemic symptoms and serious complications, but also significantly reduce the quality of life and even endanger life. Only a concerted effort by society as a whole can effectively curb the spread of hepatitis and safeguard human life and health。

How do we prevent hepatitis
It's not so hard to prevent hepatitis, if we do the following:
Immunization
Hepatitis a vaccine: hepatitis a can be effectively prevented after vaccination, especially for children and those who eat frequently outside the home。
Hepatitis b: this is the key to the prevention of hepatitis b. The newborn is vaccinated as soon as possible after birth, and adults can also be examined and vaccinated if there is no antibody in the body。
Watch your diet
Close the good entrances: no unclean food, no raw water, no raw vegetables and fruits。
Select safe food: go to the formal supermarket or market to buy food and avoid buying food of unknown origin。
Avoid blood transmission
Safe blood transfusions: blood transfusions must go to regular hospitals to ensure that blood is rigorously tested。
Non-sharing of needles: do not share syringes, needles, including tools such as tattoos, ear piercing, etc., and must also choose formal venues to ensure strict sterilization。
Healthy lifestyle
Prohibition of alcohol: alcohol causes great harm to the liver, minimizes alcohol consumption and better not drink。
Regularity: ensure adequate sleep, do not stay up late, and allow enough time for the liver to rest and repair。
Appropriate exercise: multiple exercise enhances physical immunity, improves health and helps prevent hepatitis。
The key to preventing hepatitis is awareness-raising and scientific measures. We can significantly reduce the risk of contracting hepatitis through timely vaccinations, attention to dietary hygiene, the avoidance of blood transmission, the maintenance of healthy lifestyles and regular medical examinations. To protect the liver, from day to day, from now on, let us protect our health and that of our families。
