Customer question:
Does hepatitis infection cause liver pain? Anonymous customer's question
Pharmacist's answer:
Yes, hepatitis infection can also cause liver pain. The liver is an organ in the upper right part of the abdomen that plays a vital role in the body's detoxification, bile production, and metabolism. Hepatitis infection causes liver inflammation, which can lead to various symptoms, including liver pain. Liver pain symptoms can vary depending on the severity of the hepatitis infection and the individual. Some people with hepatitis may not feel pain at all, while others may experience more severe pain.
It is important to note that the symptoms of hepatitis can vary depending on the type of hepatitis (A, B, C, D, E) and the severity of the infection. If you suspect you have hepatitis or if you have symptoms that indicate liver problems, consult your doctor. Diagnosis and treatment of hepatitis are essential to prevent possible serious complications.
