New Delhi:- If you feel more weakness, your appetite is decreasing and you also have stomach ache, then do not make the mistake of considering these symptoms as mild. Taking these symptoms lightly and getting some home remedies done can be a risky step. In fact, if these are the symptoms then it is possible that you may have become a victim of jaundice, or may have been affected by viral hepatitis.

In fact, these days, due to humidity and heat, there is usually a possibility of viral hepatitis. In such a situation, if the diagnosis is not made at the right time, the swelling in the liver can cause major and serious problems. Let us tell you that in future it can also cause lump in the liver or even cancer.
know about hepatitis
Dr. Vinod Arora (Associate Professor, Hepatology, Institute of Liver and Biliary Sciences, New Delhi) explains that this is a viral infection. There are many types of it like A, B, C, D and E. Not all types of hepatitis are caused by viruses. Autoimmune hepatitis also occurs which occurs due to the weakening of the body’s immune system. Also, consumption of some medicines and inappropriate herbal supplements can also cause it.

It can also be caused by excessive alcohol consumption, which is called alcoholic hepatitis. Let us tell you that hepatitis viruses remain present in our body or in dormant state. Therefore, once this infection occurs in small children, the body may become immune to this virus or may not show many symptoms, but if it occurs in adults, it can become a fatal problem for them.
need to check once
Do not take liver related problems lightly. A comprehensive checkup or liver screening should be done once a year. This is also important because there are no obvious symptoms of inflammation in the liver. If timely diagnosis is not made, liver disease can suddenly become serious and fatal. Hepatitis A, B and C can be detected through blood tests. There are vaccines to prevent hepatitis A and B. Hepatitis B vaccine given to infants at birth can prevent the transmission of hepatitis from their mothers. If you are not able to take the vaccine at a young age, then you can take it further till the age of 25 to 30.
