Causes of Hepatitis: Hepatitis can be caused by viral infections (Hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E), excessive alcohol consumption, certain medications, and autoimmune diseases. Each type of viral hepatitis has different modes of transmission and varying impacts on the liver.

Symptoms of Hepatitis: Common symptoms include jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), fatigue, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, and dark urine. Chronic hepatitis can lead to severe complications such as liver cirrhosis and liver cancer.

Treatment Options: Treatment varies depending on the type of hepatitis. Acute viral hepatitis often resolves on its own, while chronic hepatitis may require antiviral medications, lifestyle changes, and in severe cases, liver transplantation.

Preventive Measures: Prevention strategies include vaccination (for Hepatitis A and B), practicing safe sex, avoiding sharing needles, ensuring safe blood transfusions, maintaining good hygiene, and reducing alcohol intake. Awareness and education are crucial in preventing the spread of hepatitis.
