Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver, often caused by viral infections. There are several types, including Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C, each transmitted in different ways. Symptoms can range from mild fatigue and nausea to severe liver damage, making it important to get tested if you suspect exposure. Preventing hepatitis involves vaccination, practicing good hygiene, and avoiding risky behaviors. For instance, Hepatitis A can be prevented through vaccination and proper sanitation, while Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C require safe practices to avoid blood exposure. Early detection and treatment can help manage the disease effectively.
