Hepatitis C:Causes and effect:

Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver.Inflammation causes soreness and swelling.Drinking too much alcohol,abusing drugs and taking some medicines can cause hepatitis.Many viruses can cause hepatitis,too.There are 2 main kinds of hepatitis,acute hepatitis and chronic hepatitis.When a person has hepatitis,the liver may become inflamed very suddenly.This is called acute hepatitis.If you have acute hepatitis,you might have nausea,vomiting,fever and body aches.

How does Hepatitis affect the liver?

The liver breaks down waste products in your blood.When the liver is inflamed,it doesn't do a good job of getting rid of waste products.One waste product called bilirubin,begins to build up in the blood and tissues when the liver isn't working right.The bilirubin makes the skin trun a yellow-orange colour(jaundice).
What is Hepatitis C?

Several viruses can infect the liver.There are 3 main types:hepatitis A,B and C.
Hepatitis C is usually spread through contact with blood products,through used needles,using IV drugs or getting a blood transfusion.Most people don't feel sick when they are infected with hepatitis C.Instead,the virus stays in their liver and causes liver infalmmation.

Is there a vaccine for Hepatitis C?

No,not for hepatitis C.There are vaccines for hepatitis A and hepatitis B.If you have hepatitis C, your doctor may want you to take the vaccine for hepatitis B (and maybe vaccine for hepatitis A).If you have hepatitis C,you are more liely to catch hepatitis A or hepatitis B,and that would cause more damage to your liver.

The Tip : How to get your man in the mood :

1) Handfeed your lover with tidbits such as strawberries or chocolates. 2) Turn a cuddle into a sensual neck and back massage. 3) Create a love-tape of your lover's favorite love songs and present it to him. 4) Write a loving a sexy note for your lover and leave it somewhere you know he'll find it during the day. 5) Send a love letter. You don't have to fill pages-just one or two lines saying how you feel about him speaks volumes. 6) Send a text or e-mail that simply says that you're thinking of him at that moment. 7) The next time you have dinner together, light a few candles, put on some soft music and show your lover you want to make him feel good. 8) Offer to go out on an errand for your lover and come back with a surprise gift-it only needs to be a small present yet the gesture seems big on caring.
