Hepatitis C is a viral infection that affects the liver and can become chronic if not treated. Many people may not have symptoms early, but over time, it can cause fatigue, jaundice, or liver damage. Antiviral medicines are used to treat hepatitis C infection and are taken for about 8-12 weeks. Treatment is decided based on blood tests and liver condition. It is important to consult a doctor (gastroenterologist/hepatologist), avoid alcohol, and follow regular check-ups during treatment.
