How To Prevent Liver Damage And Deal With Liver Disease

Unprotected Sexual Activity Can Damage Your Liver

The liver disease, Hepatitis, can be transmitted through sexual activity. Hepatitis B virus causes inflammation of the liver and can result in an acute and chronic illness, and even liver cancer. The transmission of Hepatitis B occurs through bodily fluids and blood. Hepatitis B symptoms may include a loss of appetite, tiredness, jaundice, dark urine, and stomach upset, but many people do not display any symptoms. Hepatitis C can lead to liver disease and failure and is transmitted through blood-to-blood contact with a person who carries the virus. Sometimes people with Hepatitis C show no symptoms, but when they do, symptoms may include fatigue, jaundice, joint and abdominal pain, nausea, and loss of appetite. Hepatitis A is transmitted through contact with the feces of an infected person. Symptoms may include severe fatigue, vomiting, nausea, jaundice, fever, dark urine, upset stomach, and loss of appetite.

Healthy Home For A Healthy Liver

Your environment can also impact the health of your liver. Your liver processes everything you consume and inhale. Some important household tips for a healthy liver include the following: Stock your fridge with healthy and low-sodium foods; get your family member immunized against Hepatitis A and B, especially if you plan to travel abroad; keep medications in child-proof containers and speak to your doctor before taking medications and herbal supplements; when cleaning or painting keep your rooms well-ventilated and wear a mask; and investigate more organic natural methods of weed control and garden and lawn maintenance; and get outside with your family for healthy vigorous exercise when the weather is good.
