Hepatitis A and Hepatitis B are viral infections that affect the liver, leading to inflammation, liver dysfunction, and in some cases, long-term liver damage. Dr. Praveen M P offers expert care in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of hepatitis, with a focus on early detection, vaccination, and comprehensive liver health management.
Hepatitis A is typically spread through contaminated food or water, whereas Hepatitis B is transmitted through blood, unprotected sexual contact, or from mother to child during childbirth. Common symptoms include jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), fatigue, abdominal discomfort, nausea, dark-colored urine, and loss of appetite. Dr. Praveen conducts thorough diagnostic evaluations using liver function tests (LFT), hepatitis virus screening, and imaging studies to confirm the infection and assess liver health.
Management of Hepatitis A focuses on supportive care, rest, hydration, and nutritional guidance, as the infection usually resolves on its own. For Hepatitis B, treatment depends on the stage—acute or chronic—and may include antiviral medications, regular monitoring, and lifestyle modifications to prevent liver complications like cirrhosis or liver cancer. Dr. Praveen ensures vaccination against Hepatitis A and B as an effective preventive measure for at-risk individuals.
Medical counselling is essential in hepatitis care, helping patients understand the modes of transmission, preventive strategies, and the importance of vaccination. Dr. Praveen M P offers personalized counselling on maintaining liver health, safe hygiene practices, and avoiding alcohol and hepatotoxic substances to support recovery and prevent disease progression.
Counselling empowers patients and their families with the knowledge required to manage hepatitis effectively and prevent its spread. Dr. Praveen emphasizes the importance of routine screening for individuals at higher risk, such as healthcare workers, individuals with multiple sexual partners, or those with chronic liver diseases.
Early detection and timely management of hepatitis significantly reduce the risk of liver failure, chronic infection, and liver cancer. Dr. Praveen M P stresses the importance of not ignoring symptoms like prolonged fatigue, jaundice, or unexplained abdominal discomfort and encourages timely medical consultation.
With a patient-centric and preventive approach, Dr. Praveen collaborates with hepatologists, infectious disease specialists, and dietitians when required to ensure holistic care for hepatitis patients.
Understanding the physical, emotional, and social challenges associated with hepatitis, Dr. Praveen M P provides compassionate care, continuous education, and personalized treatment plans for effective disease management and long-term liver health.
