Hepatitis, often referred to as the "silent killer," is a serious liver inflammation that can lead to long-term health complications if left untreated. This insidious disease is often overlooked due to its ability to progress without noticeable symptoms in its early stages. World Hepatitis Day is around the corner and it serves as a crucial reminder of the importance of awareness, prevention, and timely treatment.

At Sosocare, we understand the devastating impact hepatitis can have on individuals and families. That’s why our hospital plan offers comprehensive coverage for hepatitis treatment. If you're covered under our insurance, you can access the necessary care to combat this silent threat.

What is Hepatitis?

Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver caused by a viral infection. There are several types of hepatitis, including Hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E. Each type has different modes of transmission, symptoms, and treatment options.

Symptoms of Hepatitis

While hepatitis can often be asymptomatic in its early stages, some common symptoms include:

- Jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes)
- Fatigue
- Abdominal pain
- Dark urine
- Light-colored stools
- Nausea and vomiting
- Loss of appetite

Prevention is Key

To protect yourself from hepatitis, consider the following preventive measures:

- Practice safe sex
- Avoid sharing personal items like razors or toothbrushes
- Get vaccinated against hepatitis A and B
- Practice good hygiene, especially when handling food

Early Detection Saves Lives
