Early symptoms of hepatitis in women

There are many hepatitis patients in life. Hepatitis is actually a serious disease, because hepatitis can seriously affect our liver function, and liver function is very important to us, because it can eliminate the residual toxins in our body. If it becomes inflamed, it is likely to make us lose appetite and have a sallow complexion. So what are the symptoms of early hepatitis in women?

Hepatitis patients often have symptoms of loss of appetite, nausea and aversion to greasy food. This is because the hepatitis virus destroys liver cells, reducing the function of bile secretion and affecting the digestion of fat, thus causing aversion to greasy food. Many patients also experience general discomfort during fever, which is caused by hepatocellular necrosis, liver dysfunction, decreased detoxification and excretion function, or viremia. Yellow urine like tea and pain in the liver area are also the main symptoms in the early stage. It is recommended to go to a regular hospital for examination and symptomatic treatment.

1. Loss of appetite, nausea and aversion to oil

This is a symptom common in most hepatitis patients, especially in patients with jaundice hepatitis, where the symptoms are more severe. The liver is the largest "chemical factory" in the human body and is involved in all metabolic processes in the body.

Among them, secreting bile is one of the important functions, and the bile salts in bile play an important role in the absorption and digestion of fat. After suffering from hepatitis, the hepatitis virus induces a large number of liver cells to be destroyed, and the function of bile secretion is reduced, which affects the digestion of fat, so the patient will have an aversion to oily food. When suffering from hepatitis, the gastrointestinal tract will be congested and edema, the peristalsis will be weakened, and the gastrointestinal dysfunction will be disordered, which will affect the patient's food digestion and absorption, so it will cause the patient to have loss of appetite, nausea and aversion to greasy food. Acute viral hepatitis can cause symptoms such as loss of appetite.

Among them, secretion of bile is one of the important functions. The bile salts in bile play an important role in the absorption and digestion of fat.

2. Fever

In the early stages of acute icteric hepatitis, fever is common, mostly between 37.5 and 38.5 degrees Celsius. High fever is rare and generally lasts for 3 to 5 days. The fever of those without icteric hepatitis is much lower than that of those with icteric hepatitis.

Many patients have fever accompanied by general discomfort and loss of appetite, and mistakenly think they have a cold. A considerable number of patients with jaundice-type hepatitis are often treated for a cold in hospital outpatient clinics and are not diagnosed until jaundice appears 3-5 days later. This is due to a lack of knowledge about the fever symptoms of hepatitis. The cause of fever may be hepatocellular necrosis, liver dysfunction, reduced detoxification and excretion function, or viremia.

3. Urine is yellow like tea

Under normal circumstances, the life span of human red blood cells in icteric hepatitis is 120 days. The damaged red blood cells will release hemoglobin, which will undergo a series of decomposition and metabolism and turn into a yellow substance called bilirubin. Because the hepatitis virus causes liver cell damage, it affects the metabolism of bilirubin, causing more bilirubin to enter the blood and be excreted through urine than usual, so the urine color becomes darker. The yellower the urine is, the more severe the damage to the liver cells is. As the condition improves, the urine color will gradually return to normal.
