Hepatitis is not for nothing called an invisible killer. This disease is very dangerous. In this case, the first signs of hepatitis may not be detected until the disease goes into a complicated and neglected form.
The first signs of hepatitis A
Infection with this disease occurs through dirty hands. The incubation period is from two to six weeks. But already at this time the sick person poses a danger to others.
The first signs of hepatitis A include:
- fast fatigue;
- fever;
- dyspeptic syndrome;
- loss of appetite;
- change of color of urine (the liquid noticeably darkens);
- soreness in the joints;
- unpleasant sensations under the ribs on the right.
The first signs of hepatitis B infection
Hepatitis B is considered a more complex disease. The best prevention of the disease is vaccination. If the infection does occur, the first symptoms can appear in a couple of months - three months. At the same time, they will be more pronounced and longer. The main manifestations are jaundice of the skin and mucous membranes, weakness and intoxication.
The first signs of viral hepatitis C
This is the most dangerous and severe form of the disease. It is transmitted mainly through blood - with transfusions, as a result of the use of infected needles, during sexual intercourse.
The incubation period of hepatitis lasts about 50 days, but the first signs after the lapse of it may not appear. Because of this, very often the disease becomes an unpleasant surprise after an accidental examination.
But in some organisms the disease develops quite actively. And only a few weeks after infection, there are:
- weakness;
- pain in the joints;
- nausea;
- yellowness;
- digestive disorders;
- loss of efficiency;
- asthenia;
- changes in color of urine;
- the formation of vascular asterisks on the body.
