What are the symptoms of hepatitis, and how is it treated? - #14622
A friend of mine was recently diagnosed with hepatitis, and I don’t fully understand what it is. From what I read, it’s a liver infection, but there seem to be different types like hepatitis A, B, and C. What’s the difference between them, and how serious is each type? What are the early symptoms of hepatitis? Do they appear right away, or can someone have the disease for a long time without knowing? I heard that some forms of hepatitis can lead to liver damage or even liver failure. How does that happen, and how can it be prevented? Also, is hepatitis contagious? If so, how does it spread? I know that some types are transmitted through food and water, while others spread through blood or sexual contact. What precautions should someone take to avoid infection? Can hepatitis be treated naturally, or does it always require medication? Are there Ayurvedic treatments or specific foods that help support liver health and recovery? If anyone has experience with hepatitis, what treatments worked best, and how long did it take to recover?
