Do you know what the dangers of hepatitis C are?

Hepatitis C is a relatively serious disease clinically. It is very harmful to the body and will have a certain impact on life. Hepatitis C is also highly contagious. If not treated actively, the condition will worsen into cirrhosis. However, in life, we often do not pay attention to our own bodies and always ignore some physical symptoms, which leads to serious illness. So today let’s take a look at the dangers of hepatitis C.

1. The incidence of hepatitis C disease is very high. Among liver diseases, the incidence of hepatitis C is very high, and only a small number of patients in the acute phase of the disease may show obvious symptoms such as jaundice. The rest of the patients do not show any symptoms and are not easily discovered.

2. Hepatitis C disease is widely transmitted, mainly through blood, sexual intercourse, mother-to-child transmission, etc. In daily life, it is easy to be infected with the hepatitis C virus. The semen, vaginal secretions, etc. of hepatitis C patients carry the virus, so you must take preventive measures when having sex with a hepatitis C patient.

3. my country has not yet developed a hepatitis C vaccine, so it is very difficult to prevent the spread of hepatitis C. The key to preventing hepatitis C disease is to cut off the transmission route and prevent the hepatitis C virus from spreading through the transfusion of blood products, broken skin, blood contact, unclean sexual life, mother-to-child transmission, etc.

4. The probability of hepatitis C developing into cirrhosis and liver cancer is very high, exceeding that of hepatitis B. Once it worsens, the difficulty of treatment will be greatly increased, causing great pain to the patient. Therefore, if hepatitis C patients do not receive timely treatment when the disease occurs, the patient's condition is very likely to develop into cirrhosis or even liver cancer, which seriously threatens the patient's life and health and affects the patient's normal work and life.
