Patient's question:
Doctor,I was diagnosed with acute hepatitis B at the hospital, and it is classified as the "big three positive." When I was admitted, my viral load was 10 to the power of 4. After 26 days of treatment, the virus count dropped to 556. Now, 39 days into treatment, I have four more days to complete my final follow-up, which includes DNA and the five-item test.
I would like to ask, if I achieve complete negativity, how long should I wait before getting pregnant? If I do not clear the virus but only have a negative DNA test with a positive surface antigen, when can I get pregnant? Thank you, kind doctor.
First follow-up question: A doctor said at least six months. Why? If I am completely cured, should I wait three months before...
Doctor's answer:
After stopping medication, normal liver function is required to have children, but very few people achieve negativity in the five hepatitis B tests. Even if DNA becomes negative, there is still a risk of recurrence. Therefore, it is necessary to receive hepatitis B immune globulin at the hospital before the child is born to prevent transmission.Here, all the doctors are answering questions in their spare time.
