Patient's question:
I have reached the age to have children, and I have been married to my husband for more than 2 years. Now I plan to have a baby, but I am a carrier of hepatitis B. First, I would like to consult a doctor: Can I have a child? If I can have a baby, what should I pay attention to?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, you are a carrier of the hepatitis B virus. This condition is still possible to have children. Although hepatitis B can be transmitted through mother-to-child transmission, with active prophylactic treatment, it can be effectively prevented to a large extent, so there is no need to worry.Advice: Hello, you can have children. It is recommended to administer hepatitis B immune globulin to your child within 12 hours after birth, followed by another injection one month later. Additionally, you should follow the requirements to vaccinate your child against hepatitis B. In this way, you can breastfeed, and the risk of your child contracting hepatitis B will be very low. I hope my answer helps you.
