Can male hepatitis B virus carriers pass on children?

Patient's question:

Doctor: Hello! My husband is 26 years old this year. He was diagnosed as an HBV carrier last year. I have antibodies. We are planning to have a child next year. If I get pregnant, what preventive measures should I take, and will the child be infected?

Doctor's answer:

Hepatitis B is a disease caused by infection with the hepatitis B virus. The hepatitis B virus is a hepatotropic virus that primarily exists within liver cells and damages them, leading to liver cell inflammation, necrosis, and fibrosis. Hepatitis B is difficult to treat, and there is currently no specific medication available. You can try interferon treatment. There are many causes of pediatric liver disease. If a child is diagnosed with pediatric liver disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for timely treatment, cooperate with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention not to develop picky eating habits in their children and maintain a balanced diet.
