How is Hepatitis C transmitted?

The most common liver virus in medicine is hepatitis B, and everyone is terrified when they hear about hepatitis B. Hepatitis B patients carry a certain amount of hepatitis B virus in their livers, so they are contagious to a certain extent. In fact, there is also liver C disease in the liver at the same time. This liver disease is also called hepatitis C, and it is also highly contagious. So how does hepatitis C enter the body of another person in daily life?

There are many types of liver diseases. We often hear about special medical terms such as hepatitis B or hepatitis B virus carrier. Many people have not heard of hepatitis C. Anyone who knows about this disease knows that it is also a liver disease. It is a type of hepatitis C, and it is a viral hepatitis. According to statistics, approximately 3% of infections worldwide result in this disease.

The transmission mechanism and route of the disease.

1. Transmission through blood. If you have come into contact with a patient through blood transfusion or blood products, the infection is likely to occur. Because the disease can be transmitted through blood, just like AIDS, it is quite frightening.

2. Sexual transmission. Just like AIDS, hepatitis C can also be transmitted through sex. Therefore, an effective way to avoid infection is to maintain sexual health and avoid unhealthy sexual behaviors.

3. Mother-to-child transmission. If the child's mother suffers from this disease, there is a certain probability that she will transmit it to her child. Therefore, it is best for the mother to have a physical examination before giving birth to make the child healthier.

4. Other channels. According to research, the cause of the disease is still unknown in about 30 percent of patients.

The above four points are about the transmission routes of hepatitis C. Knowing the transmission routes can help us take targeted prevention measures. The first three approaches can be effectively dealt with, and you also know how to effectively prevent them. For other disease transmission routes of unknown origin, patients can only focus on prevention and treatment, and seek timely treatment once discovered.
