Patient's question:
The male colleague has a minor positive for hepatitis B and is planning to have children. He is concerned about passing hepatitis B to his child. Does a minor positive for hepatitis B in the male partner affect the child?Doctor's answer:
If the man has hepatitis B, it will affect future childbirth.Advice: Since hepatitis B can be transmitted to the wife through sexual intercourse, if the wife becomes infected with hepatitis B and then becomes pregnant, there is a possibility of transmitting it to the child. Therefore, if the wife does not have antibodies before marriage, it is best to get vaccinated for hepatitis B early to produce antibodies before marrying and having children.
