It can be caused by viruses, excessive alcohol consumption, toxins, certain medications, or autoimmune conditions. The disease can be <strong>acute<\/strong> (short-term) or <strong>chronic<\/strong> (long-lasting), and severity ranges from mild illness to serious liver damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Types of Viral Hepatitis<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are five main types of viral hepatitis:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Hepatitis A (HAV)<\/strong> \u2013 Transmitted through contaminated food or water. It is usually short-term and preventable by vaccination.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Hepatitis B (HBV)<\/strong> \u2013 Spread through blood, sexual contact, or from mother to child during birth. It can become chronic and lead to liver cirrhosis or cancer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Hepatitis C (HCV)<\/strong> \u2013 Primarily transmitted through infected blood (e.g., shared needles). Often becomes chronic and may lead to severe liver damage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Hepatitis D (HDV)<\/strong> \u2013 Occurs only in those already infected with hepatitis B; it can worsen the severity of the illness.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Hepatitis E (HEV)<\/strong> \u2013 Spread through contaminated water, especially in regions with poor sanitation. Usually self-limiting.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Symptoms<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Common symptoms include fatigue, jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), dark urine, nausea, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, and fever. Chronic hepatitis may remain asymptomatic for years until liver damage progresses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Prevention and Treatment<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Prevention includes <strong>vaccination<\/strong> (for Hepatitis A and B), <strong>safe hygiene practices<\/strong>, <strong>safe sex<\/strong>, and avoiding sharing needles. Chronic hepatitis B and C can be managed or cured with antiviral medications. Lifestyle changes, such as avoiding alcohol and maintaining a healthy diet, support liver health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hepatitis is a serious yet preventable disease. <strong>Early detection, vaccination, awareness, and access to treatment<\/strong> are key to controlling its global impact.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hepatitis refers to inflammation of the liver, a vital organ responsible for processing nutrients, filtering blood, and fighting infections.
