For Hepatitis C, you usually see a gastroenterologist or a hepatologist, they're liver specialists. Make sure you also ask them if light exercise like walking is okay, once treatment starts. Staying active helps, if your doctor approves.

My friend had something similar, it was a liver specialist. You need regular checkups for these kinds of conditions. And also keep an eye on your overall health, like BP, sugar, etc., along with the main issue.

Haan ji, Hepatitis C ke liye na, you need to see a liver specialist. Matlab, gastro-something ya hepatologist. Normal doc nahi, proper specialist chahiye. Jaao jaldi, pls.

At Apollo or Fortis, for something like Hepatitis C, they'd typically refer you to a hepatologist or a gastroenterologist. Make sure to ask them clearly about the treatment plan and what to expect. Don't hesitate to ask all your questions.

Look, for Hepatitis C, you need a specialist. A hepatologist or a good gastroenterologist. Don't waste time with a general physician for this. Get a referral and follow their advice strictly. Early treatment makes a big difference.
