I am a carrier of liver disease. Can I have children?

Patient's question:

Can hepatitis carriers have children? Will this disease be passed on to children?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, carriers of the hepatitis B virus can have children. There is a possibility of transmitting the virus to the child. To prevent transmission, an intervention therapy can be adopted. Specifically, you should receive an injection of hepatitis B immune globulin during the 7th, 8th, and 9th months of pregnancy. After the child is born, administer an injection of hepatitis B immune globulin promptly and vaccinate the child with the hepatitis B vaccine.
