Not All Hepatitis Is Caused by a Virus
Before we talk about the virus types (A to E), let’s talk about non-viral hepatitis... The ones many ignore, but that are very real and dangerous.
Not every hepatitis is from virus oh!
Some come from what you drink, what you swallow, or even your body is fighting against itself.
1. Alcoholic Hepatitis
You drink too much alcohol? It can damage your liver and That’s hepatitis.
It’s not only ogogoro oh, even regular red wine or beer every day can spoil your liver over time.
Stop now, before liver damage becomes permanent.
The liver can forgive, but only if you change early.
Some people drink “herbal mixtures” daily with alcohol and think it’s cleansing. It's destroying their liver instead
Symptoms:
– Weakness
– Yellow eyes
– Pain by the right side of your belly
– Swollen tummy
2. Autoimmune Hepatitis
Sometimes, your body fights itself... Yes oh.
The immune system that is suppose to protect you starts attacking the liver.
You may just be feeling tired, or your joints may be paining you.
Doctors can test it and give treatment.
Mostly affects women.
3. Drug or Herbal Medicine Hepatitis
You dey take medicine anyhow?
Herbal mixture every week?
Always swallowing things “to clean system”?
That’s how liver go shout, “Enough!”
Some people don’t even know it’s medicine that’s making them sick.
Watch out:
– Overuse of paracetamol
– Mixing different antibiotics
– Herbal teas without knowing what’s inside
– Those ‘flat tummy’ or bleaching drinks
If your urine turn dark or your body scratch you after using a drug or herb go hospital, don’t pray it away.
Symptoms:
– Nausea
– Loss of appetite
– Yellowing eyes
– Itchy skin
Even “natural” things can harm if taken without guidance.
4. Metabolic Hepatitis / Fatty Liver
( Come from Food and Sugar)
This one is not by alcohol, not by virus.
but by overfeeding and no exercise.
It happens when fat enters too much in the liver.
– If you like sweet drinks
– Eat anyhow
– No dey exercise
– Or you get diabetes
It can lead to liver damage or cancer, but the good news... If you lose weight, eat clean, and move your body, It can clear!
The body is a temple not a garbage bin. Care for it like God owns it.
