Can patients with hepatitis B get pregnant during the illness?

Patient's question:

Over thirty this year, I accidentally got hepatitis B, but now I'm married and want a baby. I don't know if I could have thought about having a baby during the time I had this disease, and whether I could recover.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, you cannot get pregnant during treatment. Regardless of the active replication of the hepatitis B virus during treatment, which may transmit the virus to the baby, just the medications used during treatment can lead to fetal malformations. Therefore, you should wait until the treatment stabilizes and you have been off the medication for several months before trying to get pregnant.
