Patient's question:
I've been married for 4 years. I thought I had hepatitis B and had never considered having children. Recently, I found out that I was actually pregnant. Because I wanted to have my own child, I decided to keep this pregnancy with my husband. However, having hepatitis B will definitely affect the child. During pregnancy, I can't take any medication casually, so I want to look into traditional Chinese medicine.Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your situation, pregnant women infected with the hepatitis B virus have the highest mother-to-child transmission rate of up to 33%; therefore, it is difficult to rule out the possibility of transmission. For traditional Chinese medicine regulation, ginseng and astragalus can promote liver cell recovery. Additionally, it is essential to pay attention to dietary aspects. Lily bulb and coix seed have the effect of clearing damp-heat, which can regulate the external environment of the liver and make the liver work more efficiently.
