Patient's question:
I am a carrier of the hepatitis B virus and I want to have a child. What should I do? I was diagnosed with hepatitis B when I was 7 years old.Doctor's answer:
Hello, generally speaking, if a hepatitis B patient has children, they will transmit the virus to their children, because the main transmission routes of hepatitis B are sexual contact, vertical transmission from mother to child, and blood product transmission. However, with the advancement of technology, this issue has now been largely resolved.Guidance: A newborn hepatitis B vaccine has been clinically developed. If the mother is a hepatitis B patient, administering the vaccine within 24 hours of the baby's birth can help the newborn produce antibodies quickly, thereby preventing transmission. However, it is not 100% effective. It is necessary to undergo a specialized medical examination at the hospital to determine if this method is suitable for you. I hope my answer can help you. Wishing you success in achieving your goal.
