Can a hepatitis B patient get pregnant?

Patient's question:

For the past three years, I have experienced menstrual cramps. Later, I developed hepatitis B for eight years. I have visited the hospital before, but haven't been back since. Can I get pregnant?

Doctor's answer:

For women with hepatitis B minor positive, the decision on the timing of pregnancy is generally based on liver function tests, careful ultrasound examinations, and other physical symptoms. If liver function remains normal and there are no significant signs of liver inflammation, pregnancy can be considered. However, in this case, it is important to take measures to prevent mother-to-child transmission of hepatitis B. Specific methods include receiving a monthly injection of hepatitis B immune globulin during the last three months of pregnancy. Immediately after delivery, the infant should be vaccinated with the hepatitis B vaccine and hepatitis B immune globulin.
