What are the symptoms of hepatitis C?

Most people with hepatitis C don't have any symptoms. Some people, however, can have mild symptoms soon after being infected. These symptoms can include the following:

  • jaundice (yellowing of the eyes and skin)
  • fatigue (being tired)
  • muscle aches
  • dark urine
  • abdominal (stomach) pain
  • loss of appetite
  • nausea

Usually, these symptoms go away without any treatment.
