If you are facing any of the above symptoms, then you need to consult a physician. As the above are Symptoms of the Liver Cirrhosis or Hepatitis C virus.  

What is Hepatitis C? 
It is a contagious liver infection caused by the hepatitis C virus (HCV). It causes liver inflammation, sometimes leading to severe liver damage.  Every chronic hepatitis C infection begins with the acute phase. The acute phase rarely depicts any symptoms and is mostly undiagnosed. In 15-40% of people with hepatitis C, the immune system fights off the infection. While in some it persists for a longer period. 

What causes Hepatitis C? 
When there weren’t reliable HCV blood tests, the virus got spread through blood products and transfusions.  Nowadays, people get injected with HCV by sharing needles for drug use. HCV infected mother can pass it to her offspring. It can even be passed through infected tattooing and piercing equipment.

Is it preventable? How can I prevent it?
Yes, of course, it is preventable. 
Here are some steps you can take to prevent yourself from becoming infected. 
  1. Never ever share needles: Intravenous drug in-takers have a high chance of acquiring the virus due to the sharing of needles. Sharing of straw, paper, or dollar bills when taking cocaine can transmit the virus.
  2. Avoid direct contact with blood: If you are someone working in the medical care industry, do not come into direct contact with blood or any tools that are used to draw blood. All such tools should be put in waste or sterilized before next use.
  3. Do not share personal care products: Even small traces of blood can infect largely. So avoid sharing personal care products such as shaving razors, nail cutters, toothbrushes, and scissors.  
  4. Visit licensed and professional tattoo studio: Don’t just get your tattoo from any tattoo artist. Visit a licensed one who takes extra sanitary measures. Ask for fresh needle and ink for your tattoo. Inquire thoroughly about their products and cleanliness measures.
  5. Safe Sex: It isn’t very common for HCV to transmit through sexual intercourse but there still is a chance if you have HCV. Thus, practice safe sex for better prevention and avoid intercourse with partners whose health status is uncertain to you.
