Hepatitis C Uncovered: Dr. Tuesdae Stainbrook's Essential Guide

Hepatitis C not only affects your liver, but it can affect many other organ systems, such as your skin.
Ever heard of Hepatitis C but not sure what it really means? You're not alone. In this episode of 'One Hour AT A Time', host Mary Woods chats with Dr. Tuesdae Stainbrook to break down everything you need to know about this liver disease. With five million Americans affected, it's a topic that deserves attention. Dr. Stainbrook explains the basics—what Hepatitis C is, how it spreads, and why early detection is crucial for effective treatment.
Intravenous drug use, blood transfusions before 1992, and unprotected sex are some of the risk factors she highlights. Feeling fatigued or experiencing joint and abdominal pain? These could be symptoms of Hepatitis C that shouldn't be ignored. Dr. Stainbrook goes into detail about the various tests available, from blood tests to liver biopsies, to help diagnose the condition. Treatment options have come a long way, and she discusses antiviral medications and lifestyle changes that can make a significant difference.
Mental health is also a key part of managing Hepatitis C, as many patients face depression and anxiety during their journey. Prevention tips are also on the table—avoid sharing needles and consider getting vaccinated for Hepatitis A and B. Dr. Stainbrook emphasizes the importance of staying informed and proactive when it comes to Hepatitis C.
Whether you're newly diagnosed or have been living with it for years, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice to help you manage your health better.
