Patient's question:
During the pre-marital examination, it was found that my wife had hepatitis B minor positive. I was afraid that she might pass this disease to the child later. Can hepatitis B minor positive be cured?Doctor's answer:
Hello, friend. The hepatitis B virus is mainly transmitted through mother-to-child transmission, blood, and sexual contact. It is recommended that family members get the hepatitis B vaccine early when all five tests are negative, as this can help prevent infection once antibodies are developed. For women with minor hepatitis B (HBsAg positive, HBeAg negative, anti-HBe positive), if their liver function is normal and the viral load is negative, they generally will not pass the infection to their babies. If maternal-fetal transmission prevention is performed during pregnancy, the risk of infection in the baby can be reduced to zero. It is recommended to check liver function and hepatitis B viral load before pregnancy. If adjustment is needed, it is suggested to use traditional Chinese medicine or herbal capsules for treatment. This method is effective and has no side effects of Western medicine, allowing for early pregnancy.
