VAGINAL DRYNESS- CAUSES, TREATMENT AND PREVENTION

DEFINITION
Vaginal dryness is a common problem experienced by up to one in three women, particularly those who are going through menopause or those who experience early menopause symptoms. The female s*x hormone estrogen is responsible for maintaining your natural lubricant. When your estrogen levels decrease you are more likely to experience va**nal dryness.

Normally, glands in your cervix produce a natural lubricant that keeps your va**na moist. This natural lubricant travels down your va**na, which helps to maintain a clean and healthy environment. A small amount of white discharge is a healthy sign of your va**na that is naturally well lubricated and keeping itself clean.

EPIDEMIOLOGY

Vaginal dryness can occur at any age, with prevalence ranging from 13% to 31%, although rates are significantly higher for postmenopausal women (50%) and women treated for breast cancer (63%).

RISK FACTORS OF VAGINAL DRYNESS

Besides low estrogen, other unconventional risk factors include:

* Use of specific soaps, perfumes, lotions, and douches (that alters the chemical balance in the ge***al tract may also cause dryness

* Certain drugs such as antihistamines and anti-depressants can also present with va**nal dryness as an adverse effect. Antihistamines are a class of drugs that are used for the management of asthma, allergies, and cold. These drugs can lead to va**nal dryness, as most of these drugs exert their action by drying the secretions of the body.

* Moreover, a rare autoimmune disease – Sjogren’s syndrome can also present with dryness of va**na along with dryness of eyes and mouth.

* Anxiety and depression are unhealthy mental states that not only influence psychological health but may also affect s*xual health. When a person is stressed or depressed, s*xual desires or libido also decrease which may lead to va**nal dryness.

Low libido or other s*xual problems can lead to va**nal dryness. Similarly, this disease can worsen a low s*xual drive.

VAGINAL DRYNESS CAUSES

In many cases, women have va**nal dryness when estrogen hormone levels decrease. Treatments for other conditions can also cause this symptom. Vaginal dryness can result from:

* Breastfeeding and childbirth

* Cancer treatments including chemotherapy and hormonal therapy

* Diabetes

* Medications including allergy and cold drugs

* Menopause

* Removal of the ovaries

* Sjogren’s syndrome (an autoimmune disorder that can cause dryness throughout the body)

DOUCHING AND OTHER IRRITANTS: Certain soaps, lotions, perfume, and douches can disrupt the natural balance of chemicals in your va**na, leading to dryness.

OTHER MEDICINES: Allergy, cold, and asthma medicines that contain antihistamines can have a drying effect on the body and contribute to reduced va**nal lubrication.

CERTAIN ANTIDEPRESSANTS may also lead to a reduction in va**nal secretions.

ANXIETY: Stress and anxiety can affect s*xual desire and may lead to va**nal dryness.

SJOGREN'S SYNDROME: This rare autoimmune disease can cause dryness in the eyes, mouth, and va**na.

LOW S*XUAL DESIRE: A low libido or other s*xual problems may give way to dryness, and conversely, the dryness may worsen libido.

SYMPTOMS OF VAGINAL DRYNESS

The changes described above can occur without causing any symptoms or discomfort. However, some of the following symptoms may develop in some women. Vaginal dryness is a common (and usually treatable) cause of the following problems. However, these problems can also be caused by other medical conditions.

PAIN WHEN YOU HAVE S*X: This may occur because your va**na is smaller, drier and less likely to become lubricated during s*x compared with how it was before the menopause. Also, the skin around your va**na is more fragile and this can make the problem worse.

DISCOMFORT: If your v***a or va**na is sore and red.

VAGINAL DISCHARGE: There may be a white or yellow discharge. Sometimes this is due to an infection. Infection is more likely if the discharge is smelly and unpleasant.

ITCH: The skin around your va**na is more sensitive and more likely to itch. This can make you prone to scratching, which then makes your skin more likely to itch, and so on. This is called an itch/scratch cycle which can become difficult to break and can be distressing.

URINARY PROBLEMS: Vaginal dryness may contribute to various urinary problems. This is because of thinning and weakening of the tissues around the neck of your bladder, or around the opening for urine to pass (the urethra). For example, urinary symptoms that may occur include an urgency to get to the toilet and recurring urinary tract infections.

COMPLICATIONS OF VAGINAL DRYNESS

Vaginal dryness can:

* Make you more likely to get yeast or bacterial infections of the va**na.

* Cause sores or cracks in the walls of the va**na.

* Cause pain with s*xual in*******se, which may affect your relationship with your partner or spouse. (Talking openly with your partner may help.)

DIAGNOSIS AND TEST

* If you have va**nal dryness, your doctor can perform a pelvic exam to determine whether the walls of your va**na are thin, pale, or red.

* You may also undergo testing of your hormone levels to see if you’re going through menopause.

* Your doctor may also test your va**nal discharge to check for other causes of dryness.

* Visit your doctor if you have symptoms of va**nal dryness that are severe or don’t go away.

VAGINAL DRYNESS TREATMENT

There are two main ways to help with or treat va**nal dryness: lubricants and estrogen therapy.

TOPICAL, SHORT-TERM SOLUTIONS

Using va**nal moisturizers and lubricants can help relieve va**nal dryness and painful s*xual in*******se. You can buy moisturizers and lubricants over the counter. Check with your provider to find which one may be the right choice for you as there are many options.

ESTROGEN THERAPY

Estrogen therapy is a long-term solution to va**nal dryness. There are a few therapy options for women, including:

LOCAL ESTROGEN THERAPY: Low-dose va**nal estrogen therapy (such as va**nal creams, va**nal rings, and va**nal tablets), release a small dose of estrogen directly into the va**nal tissue. The estrogen helps restore the natural thickness and elasticity to the va**nal lining and also relieves dryness and irritation.

SYSTEMIC ESTROGEN THERAPY: With this type of estrogen therapy (pills, skin patches, or gels or sprays applied to the skin), estrogen is released into the bloodstream and travels to the organs and tissues where it is needed.

LASER ESTROGEN THERAPY: It’s a fast, simple, and safe laser treatment that takes less than 5 minutes called MonaLisa Touch. This laser treatment can help restore your gynecologic health especially when estrogen levels decline after menopause. The machine delivers gentle laser energy to the va**nal wall tissue that stimulates a healing response in the va**nal canal. A typical course of treatment is three procedures over 18 weeks.

PREVENTION OF VAGINAL DRYNESS

A water-soluble va**nal lubricant can be used to moisten the tissues and prevent painful s*xual in*******se. Regular s*xual activity also can help to prevent symptoms. This is because s*xual in*******se improves blood circulation to the va**na, which helps to maintain va**nal tissue.

DO AND DON'T TO PREVENTIVE OF VAGINAL DRYNESS

DO:

* Use lubricant

*Talk to your partner

DON'T:

* Use harsh soaps or shower gels

* Wear uncomfortable underwear

Good afternoon everyone happy weekend to you all.
Our Topic for today is: STOMACH CANCER- A Stages, Symptoms, Causes, Treatment & Recommendation

DEFINITION

Stomach cancer develops when cells in the lining of the stomach grow and divide in an abnormal way. Tumours can begin anywhere in the stomach, although most start in the glandular tissue found on the stomach’s inner surface (mucosa). This type of cancer is called adenocarcinoma of the stomach (also known as gastric cancer).

If it is not found and treated early, stomach cancer can spread through the lymphatic system to nearby lymph nodes or through the bloodstream to other parts of the body, such as the liver and lungs. It may also spread to the walls of the abdomen (peritoneum). Rarely, it can grow through the stomach wall into nearby organs such as the pancreas and bowel.

EPIDEMIOLOGY

Once the second most common cancer worldwide, stomach cancer has dropped to sixth place, after cancers of the lung, breast, prostate, colon and re**um, and skin (non-melanoma). Stomach cancer is the third most common cause of death from cancer. The World Health Organization estimates that in 2018, gastric cancer accounted for 783,000 deaths worldwide.

TYPES OF STOMACH CANCER

Different types of stomach cancer include:

* Adenocarcinomas; of the stomach develop in the cells of the innermost lining of the stomach. Most stomach cancers are classified as adenocarcinomas of the stomach.

* Lymphoma; is a cancer of the immune system tissue that may start anywhere lymph tissues are found, including the stomach. Lymphomas in the stomach are rather rare and only account for about 4 percent of all stomach cancers.

* Gastrointestinal; stromal tumors, or GISTs, are a rare type of stomach cancer that forms in a special cell found in the lining of the stomach called interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs). Under a microscope, GIST cells look similar to muscle or nerve cells. These tumors may develop throughout the digestive tract, but about 60 to 70 percent occur in the stomach.

* Carcinoid; tumors typically start in the hormone-producing cells of the stomach. These tumors usually do not spread to different organs and account for only about 3 percent of stomach cancer incidence.

Gastric carcinoid tumors come in three types:

* Type I and II ECL-cell carcinoids rarely spread to other parts of the body and may produce no symptoms. They are most often discovered during an endoscopy for another health issue, such as acid reflux.

* Type III ECL-cell carcinoids are more aggressive. The excess hormone secretion of carcinoid tumors may lead to a condition called carcinoid syndrome, marked by flushing, abdominal pain, diarrhea, constriction of the bronchial tubes in the lungs and, in some cases, heart troubles like valve dysfunction. Carcinoid syndrome is a sign that more aggressive treatment may be required.

STOMACH CANCER RISK FACTORS

Some risk factors can be attributed to lifestyle and therefore can be changed. However, there are also risk factors that cannot be controlled. Having a risk factor(s) does not mean you will get the disease, but scientists have found several risk factors that make a person more likely to get stomach cancer. They are:

* Gender–it is more common in men than women.
* More common in those of Hispanic, African, Native American and Pacific Islander descent than Caucasians.
* People with mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma have an increased risk.
* Diets with high amounts of smoked foods, salted meat and fish, and pickled vegetables.
* Smoking increases risk
* Being overweight or obese is a possible cause of gastric cancers.

CAUSES OF STOMACH CANCER

Scientists don’t know exactly what makes cancer cells start growing in the stomach. But they do know a few things that can raise your risk for the disease. One of them is infection with common bacteria, H. pylori, which causes ulcers. Inflammation in your gut called gastritis, a certain type of long-lasting anemia called pernicious anemia, and growths in your stomach called polyps also can make you more likely to get cancer.

Other things that seem to play a role in raising the risk include:

* Smoking
* Being overweight or obese
* A diet high in smoked, pickled, or salty foods
* Stomach surgery for an ulcer
* Type-A blood
* Epstein-Barr virus infection
* Certain genes
* Working in coal, metal, timber, or rubber industries
* Exposure to asbestos

SYMPTOMS AND SIGNS

People with stomach cancer may experience the following symptoms or signs. Sometimes, people with stomach cancer do not have any of these changes. Or, the cause may be a different medical condition that is not cancer.

* Nausea and Vomiting
* Weightlost
* Difficulty Swallowing
* Discomfort or pain in the stomach area
* Vomiting blood or having blood in d stool
* Feeling full or bloated after a small food

STOMACH CANCER is usually not found at an early stage because it often does not cause specific symptoms. When symptoms do occur, they may be vague and can include those listed below. It is important to remember that these symptoms can also be caused by many other illnesses, such as a stomach virus or an ulcer.

* Indigestion or Heartburn
* Pain or discomfort in the abdomen
* Nausea and vomiting, particularly vomiting up
* solid food shortly after eating
* Diarrhea or constipation
* Bloating of the stomach after meals
* Loss of appetite
* Sensation of food getting stuck in the throat while eating

SYMPTOMS of advanced stomach cancer may include:

* Weakness and fatigue
* Vomiting blood or having blood in the stool
* Unexplained weight loss
* Complications of Stomach Cancer

If stomach cancer progresses to advanced stages, then it may lead to many complications like:

* Gastrointestinal bleeding
* Gastric perforation
* Small Bowel Obstruction

STOMACH CANCER TREATMENT

Common treatments include:

* SURGERY

Surgery is often the primary treatment for this type of cancer.

* CHEMOTHERAPY

Chemotherapy may be used in combination with surgery and radiation therapy.

* Radiation therapy

Good morning everyone,
Our Topic for today is
RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS- Definition, Type, Symptoms, prevention and Recommendation.

Definition
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease in which the body’s immune system – which normally protects its health by attacking foreign substances like bacteria and viruses – mistakenly attacks the joints. This creates inflammation that causes the tissue that lines the inside of joints (the synovium) to thicken, resulting in swelling and pain in and around the joints. The synovium makes a fluid that lubricates joints and helps them move smoothly.

TYPES OF RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS

As of now, there is a primary way of defining the type of rheumatoid arthritis a patient has. First of all, doctors determine whether the patient has seropositive rheumatoid arthritis or seronegative rheumatoid arthritis. This difference can determine treatment options.

SEROPOSITIVE

Rheumatoid arthritis patients who are classified as seropositive have the presence of anti-cyclic citrullinated peptides (anti-CCPs) in their blood test results. These are also referred to as anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPAs). These are the antibodies that attack the body and produce the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis.

Between 60 and 80 % of rheumatoid arthritis patients test positive for the presence of anti-CCPs, meaning it is a reliable indicator for diagnosis. The presence of these antibodies can be detected as early as 5 to 10 years before clinical rheumatoid arthritis symptoms appear.

SERONEGATIVE

* It’s still possible for patients to develop rheumatoid arthritis without the presence of antibodies in their blood. This is referred to as seronegative type rheumatoid arthritis. Seronegative patients are those who do not test positive for the anti-CCPs or another antibody called rheumatoid factor.
* Though seronegative patients lack the antibodies that help doctors diagnose the condition, they can still be diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis in a number of ways. These include the demonstration of clinical rheumatoid arthritis symptoms, as well as X-ray results indicating patterns of cartilage and bone deterioration.
* Though it’s possible for seronegative patients to have milder rheumatoid arthritis symptoms than seropositive patients, this isn’t always the case. It can still depend on a number of factors, including genetics and other underlying conditions as well.
* Unfortunately, many seronegative patients may not respond to typical rheumatoid arthritis symptoms. This provides further motivation for researchers to identify rheumatoid arthritis sub-types in order to provide treatment for those who don’t have any long-term solutions as of now.

RISK FACTORS OF RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS
Factors that may increase your risk of rheumatoid arthritis include:

* Your s*x: Women are more likely than men to develop rheumatoid arthritis.

* Age: Rheumatoid arthritis can occur at any age, but it most commonly begins between the ages of 40 and 60.

* Family history: If a member of your family has rheumatoid arthritis, you may have an increased risk of the disease.

* Smoking: Cigarette smoking increases your risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis, particularly if you have a genetic predisposition for developing the disease. Smoking also appears to be associated with greater disease severity.

* Environmental exposures: Although uncertain and poorly understood, some exposures such as asbestos or silica may increase the risk for developing rheumatoid arthritis. Emergency workers exposed to dust from the collapse of the World Trade Center are at higher risk of autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis.

* Obesity: People who are overweight or obese appear to be at somewhat higher risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis, especially in women diagnosed with the disease when they were 55 or younger.

CAUSES
Rheumatoid arthritis occurs when your immune system attacks the synovium the lining of the membranes that surround your joints.

The resulting inflammation thickens the synovium, which can eventually destroy the cartilage and bone within the joint.

The tendons and ligaments that hold the joint together weaken and stretch. Gradually, the joint loses its shape and alignment.

Doctors don’t know what starts this process, although a genetic component appears likely. While your genes don’t actually cause rheumatoid arthritis, they can make you more susceptible to environmental factors such as infection with certain viruses and bacteria that may trigger the disease.

SYMPTOMS OF RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS

While early symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis can actually be mimicked by other diseases, the symptoms are very characteristic of rheumatoid disease. Rheumatoid arthritis symptoms and signs include the following:

* Fatigue
* Joint pain
* Joint tenderness
* Joint swelling
* Joint redness
* Joint warmth
* Joint stiffness
* Loss of joint range of motion
* Limping
* Joint deformity
* Many joints affected (polyarthritis)
* Both sides of the body affected (symmetric)
* Loss of joint function
* Anemia
* Fever

PREVENTION OF RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS

* Screening and follow-up of people at risk of developing RA is appropriate for developing prevention programs for the disease. First degree relatives of RA patients, twins of RA patients, autoantibody-positive individuals, populations with high disease prevalence rate were screened in various prospective studies.
* However, these studies are expensive considering the yield as relatively low prevalence rate of RA and RA-related autoantibodies limit the statistical power of these studies.
* Large-scale screening to identify individuals at high risk of developing RA in the future (genetic factors and RA-related antibodies) will be very expensive. Low prevalence of autoantibodies in RA requires large-scale screening to identify at-risk individuals.
* As these studies are not suitable for developing countries, prevention of RA by modifying environmental factors is emerging as a cheap and effective strategy to prevent RA.
* Patients who are symptomatic definitely need treatment. Palindromic rheumatism patients often respond to antimalarials and other disease-modifying agents. Many studies show that patients with undifferentiated arthritis benefit from methotrexate.

Good evening to everyone.
Our topic for tonight is
COLON CANCER:
RISK FACTORS, COMPLICATIONS & RECOMMENDATION

COLON CANCER:- is also called as Colorectal Cancer. Colorectal cancer is caused by the abnormal growth of epithelial cells which form the lining of the colon or re**um. These small growths (known as polyps) are often benign, although some have the potential to develop and become cancerous. It is estimated that up to two thirds of colorectal polyps are pre-malignant and associated with a risk of colorectal cancer.

STRUCTURE OF COLON

* The ascending colon travels up the right side of the abdomen.
* The transverse colon runs across the abdomen.
* The descending colon travels down the left abdomen.
* The sigmoid colon is a short curving of the colon, just before the re**um.

STAGES OF COLORECTAL CANCER

Using the TNM staging, the progression of the original primary tumour is denoted by the letter T (tumour); N (node) indicates whether the tumour has spread to lymph nodes; M (metastasis) represents whether the tumour has metastasised to distant organs in the body, most commonly the liver or lungs. T, N and M are followed by numbers giving further information on the stage of the disease: increasing numbers signify later stages.

STAGE CLASSIFICATION

Stage 1 The tumour is localised to the lining of the colon. T1-T2, N0, M0
Stage 2 The tumour grows into the outer lining of the colon or surrounding tissue. T3-T4, N0, M0
Stage 3 The cancer has metastasised to the lymph nodes. Any T, N1-N2, M0
Stage 4 The cancer has metastasised to distant organs in the body. Any T, Any N, M1

CAUSES AND RISK FACTORS

* FAMILY HISTORY: A person’s risk doubles if a direct relative has previously had the disease. There is an even greater risk if more than one relative has had colorectal cancer.
* GENETICS: Individuals with inherited disorders such as familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), where an individual is prone to polyp formation, have a higher risk of developing colorectal cancer.
* COLORECTAL POLYPS or INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASES: A history of polyps or inflammatory bowel disease, where the bowel is inflamed for many years, increases the risk of colorectal cancer.
* AGE: Although a person can develop colorectal cancer at any age, the risk increases greatly with age. Over 90% of colorectal cases are diagnosed in patients over the age of 50.
* LIFESTYLE: A sedentary lifestyle is associated with a higher risk of colorectal cancer. Studies have also linked obesity, lack of exercise, smoking and excessive alcohol consumption to a greater risk of colorectal cancer.
* POTENTIAL PROTECTIVE AGENTS: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as aspirin, have been associated with a reduced risk of colorectal cancer. A healthy, fibre containing diet and hormone replacement therapy in women are also possible protective factors.

SYMPTOMS AND SIGNS
Colorectal cancer might not cause symptoms right away, but if it does, it may cause one or more of these symptoms:

* A change in bowel habits, such as diarrhea, constipation, or narrowing of the stool, that lasts for more than a few days

* A feeling that you need to have a bowel movement that is not relieved by having one

* Re**al bleeding with bright red blood

* Blood in the stool, which may make the stool look dark

* Cramping or abdominal (belly) pain
* Weakness and fatigue
* Unintended weight loss
* Colorectal cancers can often bleed into the digestive tract.
* Sometimes the blood can be seen in the stool or make it look darker, but often the stool looks normal.
* But over time, the blood loss can build up and can lead to low red blood cell counts (anemia).

Good evening all our topic for tonight is HEPATITIS; TYPES, CAUSES, SYMPTOMS, TREATMENT and PREVENTION.
DEFINITION
Hepatitis refers to an inflammatory condition of the liver. It’s commonly caused by a viral infection, but there are other possible causes of hepatitis. These include autoimmune hepatitis and hepatitis that occurs as a secondary result of medications, drugs, toxins, and alcohol. Autoimmune hepatitis is a disease that occurs when your body makes antibodies against your liver tissue.
Hepatitis: Timeline, Types, Causes, Symptoms, Treatment and Prevention
Definition
Hepatitis refers to an inflammatory condition of the liver. It’s commonly caused by a viral infection, but there are other possible causes of hepatitis. These include autoimmune hepatitis and hepatitis that occurs as a secondary result of medications, drugs, toxins, and alcohol. Autoimmune hepatitis is a disease that occurs when your body makes antibodies against your liver tissue.

TYPES AND CAUSES
Viral infections of the liver that are classified as hepatitis include hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E. A different virus is responsible for each type of virally transmitted hepatitis.

Hepatitis A is always an acute, short-term disease, while hepatitis B, C, and D are most likely to become ongoing and chronic. Hepatitis E is usually acute but can be particularly dangerous in pregnant women.

Hepatitis A

Hepatitis A is caused by an infection with the hepatitis A virus (HAV). This type of hepatitis is most commonly transmitted by consuming food or water contaminated by f***s from a person infected with hepatitis A.

Hepatitis B

Hepatitis B is transmitted through contact with infectious body fluids, such as blood, va**nal secretions, or semen, containing the hepatitis B virus (HBV). Injection drug use, having s*x with an infected partner, or sharing razors with an infected person increase your risk of getting hepatitis B.

It’s estimated by the CDC that 1.2 million people in the United States and 350 million people worldwide live with this chronic disease.

Hepatitis C

Hepatitis C comes from the hepatitis C virus (HCV). Hepatitis C is transmitted through direct contact with infected body fluids, typically through injection drug use and s*xual contact. HCV is among the most common bloodborne viral infections in the United States. Approximately 2.7 to 3.9 million Americans are currently living with a chronic form of this infection.

Hepatitis D

Also called delta hepatitis, hepatitis D is a serious liver disease caused by the hepatitis D virus (HDV). HDV is contracted through direct contact with infected blood. Hepatitis D is a rare form of hepatitis that only occurs in conjunction with hepatitis B infection. The hepatitis D virus can’t multiply without the presence of hepatitis B. It’s very uncommon in the United States.

Hepatitis E

Hepatitis E is a waterborne disease caused by the hepatitis E virus (HEV). Hepatitis E is mainly found in areas with poor sanitation and typically results from ingesting f***l matter that contaminates the water supply. This disease is uncommon in the United States. However, cases of hepatitis E have been reported in the Middle East, Asia, Central America, and Africa, according to the CDC.

Autoimmune Hepatitis

Autoimmune hepatitis is a rare form of chronic hepatitis. Like other autoimmune disorders, its exact cause is unknown. Autoimmune hepatitis may develop on its own or it may be associated with other autoimmune disorders, such as systemic lupus erythematosus. In autoimmune disorders, a misdirected immune system attacks the body’s own cells and organs (in this case the liver).

SYMPTOMS
When symptoms occur, they can include:

* Jaundice (a yellowing of the skin and eyes)
* Abdominal pain
* Loss of appetite
* Nausea and vomiting
* Diarrhea
* Fever
* Clay-colored bowel movements
* Painful joints.

COMPLICATIONS OF HEPATITIS
Chronic hepatitis B or C can often lead to more serious health problems. Because the virus affects the liver, people with chronic hepatitis B or C are at risk for:

* Chronic liver disease
* Cirrhosis
* Liver cancer

When your liver stops functioning normally, liver failure can occur. Complications of liver failure include:

* Bleeding disorders
* A buildup of fluid in your abdomen, known as ascites
* Increased blood pressure in portal veins that enter your liver, known as portal hypertension
* Kidney failure
* Hepatic encephalopathy , which can involve fatigue, memory loss, and diminished mental abilities due to the buildup of toxins, like ammonia, that affect brain function
* Hepatocellular carcinoma, which is a form of liver cancer
* Death

People with chronic hepatitis B and C are encouraged to avoid alcohol because it can accelerate liver disease and failure. Certain supplements and medications can also affect liver function. If you have chronic hepatitis B or C, check with your doctor before taking any new medications.
DIAGNOSIS AND TEST

Liver function tests

Liver function tests use blood samples to determine how efficiently your liver works. Abnormal results of these tests may be the first indication that there is a problem, especially if you don’t show any signs on a physical exam of liver disease. High liver enzyme levels may indicate that your liver is stressed, damaged, or not functioning properly.

Other blood tests

If your liver function tests are abnormal, your doctor will likely order other blood tests to detect the source of the problem. These tests can check for the viruses that cause hepatitis. They can also be used to check for antibodies that are common in conditions like autoimmune hepatitis.

Ultrasound

An abdominal ultrasound uses ultrasound waves to create an image of the organs within your abdomen. This test allows your doctor to take a close at your liver and nearby organs. It can reveal:

* Fluid in your abdomen
* Liver damage or enlargement
* Liver tumours
* Abnormalities of your gallbladder

Sometimes the pancreas shows up on ultrasound images as well. This can be a useful test in determining the cause of your abnormal liver function.

Liver biopsy

A liver biopsy is an invasive procedure that involves your doctor taking a sample of tissue from your liver. It can be done through your skin with a needle and doesn’t require surgery. Typically, an ultrasound is used to guide your doctor when taking the biopsy sample.

This test allows your doctor to determine how infection or inflammation has affected your liver. It can also be used to sample any areas in your liver that appear abnormal.

TREATMENT AND MEDICATION

Treatment options are determined by which type of hepatitis you have and whether the infection is acute or chronic.

Hepatitis A

The hepatitis A vaccine is available to prevent this infection. Most children begin vaccination between ages 12 and 18 months. It’s a series of two vaccines. Vaccination for hepatitis A is also available for adults and can be combined with the hepatitis B vaccine.

Hepatitis B

Acute hepatitis B doesn’t require specific treatment.

Chronic hepatitis B is treated with antiviral medications. This form of treatment can be costly because it must be continued for several months or years. Treatment for chronic hepatitis B also requires regular medical evaluations and monitoring to determine if the virus is responding to treatment.

Hepatitis B can be prevented with vaccination. The CDC recommends hepatitis B vaccinations for all newborns. The series of three vaccines is typically completed over the first six months of childhood. The vaccine is also recommended for all healthcare and medical personnel.

Hepatitis C

Antiviral medications are used to treat both acute and chronic forms of hepatitis C. People who develop chronic hepatitis C are typically treated with a combination of antiviral drug therapies. They may also need further testing to determine the best form of treatment.

People who develop cirrhosis (scarring of the liver) or liver disease as a result of chronic hepatitis C may be candidates for a liver transplant .

Hepatitis D

Hepatitis D can be prevented by getting the vaccination for hepatitis B, as infection with hepatitis B is necessary for hepatitis D to develop.

Hepatitis E

People with this type of infection are often advised to get adequate rest, drink plenty of fluids, get enough nutrients, and avoid alcohol. However, pregnant women who develop this infection require close monitoring and care
