Being tested for hepatitis C, but without any uncomfortable symptoms, many people choose to avoid it, some simply do not take hepatitis C treatment seriously, and some take liver-protective drugs on their own. Liver disease experts say that antiviral treatment is the key to the treatment of hepatitis C. When hepatitis C deteriorates to the stage of cirrhosis and liver cancer, patients need to pay a much higher price. China’s “Hepatitis C Prevention and Control Guidelines” clearly states that the combination of long-acting interferon and ribavirin is currently the most effective antiviral treatment program, but requires the use of sufficient doses to treat a year, many patients often can not accept, because the cost of a year is not cheap, so that the effect of hepatitis C treatment is not obvious. The insidious onset of the disease is characteristic of hepatitis C. According to statistics, the incubation period of acute hepatitis C after blood transfusion is 2 to 16 weeks, with an average of 7 weeks. The most common symptom of hepatitis C is fatigue and weakness, which is often overlooked, so hepatitis C is difficult to detect. Patients who come to the hospital with hepatitis C tend to have a longer or more severe course of the disease, and some patients come for hepatitis C treatment only after cirrhosis and complications have occurred. As a member of the “hepatitis family,” many people assume that hepatitis C, like hepatitis B, can be prevented by vaccination. In fact, there is no effective vaccine for hepatitis C in the world. However, the risk of infection can be reduced by avoiding some “high-risk” behaviors. Routes of hepatitis C infection include drug use, unnecessary and unsafe injections, unsafe blood products, unsafe sharps waste collection and disposal, use of illegal drugs and sharing of injection kits, unprotected contact with people infected with the hepatitis C virus, sharing razors, toothbrushes, use of contaminated instruments for tattoos, ear piercing and acupuncture, use of dental instruments that are not strictly sterilized, endoscopy, invasive procedures and In addition, sexual transmission and mother-to-child transmission are also important routes of hepatitis C transmission. Hepatitis C has a deep latency and is very dangerous. While hepatitis C “covers itself up”, the virus continues to damage liver cells, quietly harming the body. According to Professor Chi, if hepatitis C is not treated early, 70 to 90 percent of hepatitis C patients will develop chronic hepatitis; about 10 to 15 percent of patients may develop cirrhosis, decompensated cirrhosis and liver failure about 20 years after infection, and then 1 to 5 percent of patients will develop liver cancer. Once detected, the majority of patients will show a range of negative emotions such as nervousness, anxiety, and even loss of confidence in treatment due to a lack of understanding of hepatitis C. In addition, some patients are overly optimistic and blindly believe that liver-protective pills can cure hepatitis C. Hepatitis healthcare drugs are an adjunctive treatment modality for hepatitis C and cannot cure hepatitis C. Anti-viral therapy is currently the key to the treatment of hepatitis C. Once a patient is found to be infected with the hepatitis C virus, he should immediately go to a regular hospital specialist for standardized treatment to avoid delaying the disease and missing the best time for treatment.
