Patient's question:
My hepatitis B antibody is 52.8 S/N. My husband has chronic hepatitis B. Do I still need to get a booster dose of the hepatitis B vaccine? How long after getting the booster can I have children?Doctor's answer:
Hello, if you have antibodies in your body, you don't need to get a booster shot. You can get pregnant anytime, and it won't have a significant impact. The child can be vaccinated with the hepatitis B vaccine within 24 hours of birth. However, your husband's condition is chronic hepatitis B (HBeAg positive), and it's crucial to receive timely and proper treatment to recover as soon as possible, to avoid infecting others or causing the condition to worsen due to prolonged illness. Chronic hepatitis B often progresses from "hepatitis B → cirrhosis → liver cancer," which is what we commonly refer to as the "three stages of hepatitis B." The difficulty in treating hepatitis B lies in the fact that most patients have immune tolerance and do not produce an immune response to the hepatitis B virus (HBV), leading to persistent and unresolved conditions. Most medications struggle to ( means "cure" in Chinese) it. I recommend using traditional Chinese herbs such as Fructus Meliae Azedarach, Citrus medica, Atractylodes macrocephala, Illicium magnificum, Oroxylum indicum, Plastrum testudinis, Paeonia lactiflora, Aquilaria agallocha, Panax ginseng, Alisma orientale, Scutellaria baicalensis, Atractylodes macrocephala cum rhizoma, Poria cocos, Bupleurum chinense, Metal powder, Sugar, Honey, and Bile juice of porcine. These traditional Chinese herbs have the functions of soothing the liver and regulating qi, nourishing the stomach and strengthening the spleen. They can help both chronic hepatitis B (HBeAg positive) and chronic hepatitis B (HBeAg negative) turn negative, especially in eliminating the hepatitis B virus, with unique efficacy in completely clearing the virus from the body and ultimately achieving a cure for hepatitis B! These herbs can be purchased at local pharmacies. They are highly effective and practical. I hope you receive proper treatment and recover soon!
