Patient's question:
I have a friend who is very close to me. Recently, she was diagnosed with hepatitis B, and I'm a bit worried. I've been married for a few months now, and I'm already undergoing prenatal tests. Could you please let me know if hepatitis B is thoroughly checked during the pre-marital and prenatal examinations?Doctor's answer:
Marriage health checks and pregnancy health checks both involve thorough hepatitis B testing to prevent the spread of the disease. Generally, hepatitis B testing is also conducted during pregnancy, and it should be noted that it is important to undergo regular monitoring. Most healthy individuals have antibodies against hepatitis B, as vaccination against the virus can also prevent the disease and infection. Do not overworry. Pay attention to rest in the car, ensure adequate nutritional intake, and undergo prenatal check-ups on time.
