Patient's question:
Doctor, I am 28 years old this year, and I am a pregnant woman with hepatitis B. It's almost time for me to deliver next month, and my family is discussing whether to have a cesarean section or a vaginal delivery. I would like to ask the doctor, is it better for a hepatitis B pregnant woman to have a vaginal delivery or a cesarean section?Doctor's answer:
For those with hepatitis B, it depends on whether you have the big three positive (HBeAg positive) strain. If you do, it's better to have a cesarean section to prevent the child from being infected with hepatitis B. If you are a chronic carrier of hepatitis B, it will not affect either a vaginal birth or a cesarean section, so it's important to pay attention to the specific situation of hepatitis B and observe carefully. During this period, dietary condition and care are also very important. You must pay close attention to your diet and eat more light foods.
