There are mainly Hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E viruses. I went to a specialist at a reputed hospital recently for my family's checkup, and they explained that B and C are blood-borne and can become chronic. You should ask your doctor clearly about the vaccines available for A and B.

Hepatitis viruses can cause serious liver inflammation and some like Hep B and C might not show clear symptoms for a long time. It is always safer to get a liver profile and viral screening done if you have been exposed or feel unusually fatigued. Please don't take liver health lightly.

Bhai, there are five types of this virus, named from A to E. Some spread from dirty water and food, like A and E, so we must always drink boiled water. Take care of your health, eat simple food, and go to the town hospital if anyone feels sick or gets yellow eyes.

Don't get worried seeing so many types like A, B, C, D, and E. Most of them can be prevented with proper hygiene, clean drinking water, and timely vaccinations. Just keep your surroundings clean and don't stress too much, everything will be fine.

I was reading about how Hepatitis B and C can stay in the body without showing any symptoms, and now I'm feeling so anxious. Has anyone here gotten tested for hepatitis during routine blood work? Is the vaccination process painful or expensive?

Back in our days, awareness about Hepatitis A, B, and C was very low, and many suffered from waterborne infections. Today, we have excellent vaccines and treatments available. Just make sure your children get vaccinated on schedule and always drink filtered water.
