Hi Daniel,

Hepatitis can cause a range of symptoms, and yes, stomach swelling (often referred to as abdominal distension or ascites) can be one of them, especially in more advanced cases. The symptoms of hepatitis can vary depending on the type (A, B, C, etc.) and
the stage of the condition, but here are some common ones to look out for:

Fatigue (feeling very tired)

Jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes)

Dark urine

Pale or clay-colored stools

Nausea or vomiting

Loss of appetite

Abdominal pain or discomfort (often on the right side, near the liver)

Swelling in the abdomen or legs (this can happen if the liver isn't functioning properly and fluid builds up)

Fever (especially in acute cases)

If the stomach swelling is noticeable or accompanied by other symptoms like jaundice or severe fatigue, it's important to see a doctor as soon as possible. Hepatitis can sometimes lead to complications like liver damage or cirrhosis, which can cause
fluid buildup in the abdomen.

A healthcare professional can run tests to check liver function and determine if hepatitis or another condition is causing the symptoms. Early diagnosis and treatment are key to managing hepatitis effectively.

Take care, and don't hesitate to seek medical advice if you're concerned!
