The most common cause of hepatitis is virus, and early hepatitis will have some obvious symptoms. So what are the early symptoms of hepatitis?

1, fatigue and fatigue

Patients with hepatitis may have symptoms of fatigue and fatigue in the early stage, especially after long-term work and labor, because after work or labor, they are often ignored by patients and mistaken for normal phenomena. Serious people show a heavy feeling on their legs, and they feel moved and tired after a little activity. Those who are light can't stay long, and their work efficiency is low and they are lazy.

2. Loss of appetite

Some hepatitis patients will lose appetite and hate greasy food in the early stage, and they will feel full after eating reluctantly. Some patients also have unexplained nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and weight loss.

3. Have a fever

Patients with early hepatitis occasionally have fever symptoms, but they usually have low fever, slight fear of cold, headache due to rain and other similar cold symptoms, which are not easy to be taken seriously because of the slight symptoms.

4. Upper abdominal pain

Patients with early hepatitis may have epigastric pain. Patients will feel pain in the right upper abdomen and liver area, and sometimes it will radiate to the back. The pain is mainly at night, and it can be relieved by itself after bed rest, but it will be aggravated when coughing and laughing loudly.

5, liver palm

When patients with early hepatitis develop to a certain extent, there will still be liver palms, that is, red patches will appear on palms, especially thenar and palm roots. When pressed by hand, the red color disappears.

6. Other symptoms

In the early symptoms of hepatitis, in addition to the above common clinical manifestations, some patients may also have symptoms such as upper respiratory tract infection, joint pain, rash, and even abdominal distension and oliguria.

7. Symptoms of hepatitis in pregnant women

(1) Have a bad appetite

The most common symptom after being infected with hepatitis virus is loss of appetite, even nausea and aversion to greasy food. Although these gastrointestinal symptoms are not unique to hepatitis, they are very common in patients with hepatitis. Pregnant women should pay attention to distinguish pregnancy reactions, check liver function when necessary, and determine whether hepatitis has changed, so as not to delay treatment.

② Fatigue and weakness

Patients with acute hepatitis or chronic hepatitis are often malnourished, even with weak waist and knees. This is due to the loss of appetite in patients with hepatitis, insufficient calorie intake, impaired liver function and metabolic disorder of nutrients, leading to insufficient energy and fatigue.

(3) liver discomfort and abdominal distension

Hepatitis patients often have abdominal distension, or manifested as abdominal distension and pain in the upper abdomen, complete abdominal distension or pain in both ribs. In addition, there may be discomfort in the liver area, or pain or bloating, irregular stool, or diarrhea or constipation. When these symptoms appear, you should go to the hospital for examination in time.

④ jaundice

Hepatitis patients tend to urinate more and more yellow, and then the sclera and skin turn yellow, leading to jaundice. In short, the deeper the jaundice, the more serious the condition. Special attention should be paid to the sclera. If the sclera is yellow, liver function should be checked in time to avoid delaying diagnosis and treatment.
