Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: 4 months pregnant, planning to have an abortion. The hospital examination revealed elevated ALT levels, requiring a recheck. If the levels remain high, it is said that the abortion cannot proceed. During pregnancy, the patient has taken antiviral medication and is a hepatitis B carrier. The patient hopes the doctor can provide a detailed explanation about what needs to be done if the abortion is to be performed, as they truly cannot keep the child. Thank you!Doctor's answer:
Hello, you are currently a carrier of the hepatitis B virus, and your transaminase levels are quite high. It is not suitable for you to undergo an abortion at this time. You can choose to take medication to actively protect your liver and lower your enzyme levels. After follow-up tests, once your transaminase levels are controlled, you can consider an abortion. It will not affect your body once you have recovered. Of course, you should still be cautious in the future and regularly undergo liver function tests and hepatitis B virus DNA testing. First, do not panic. Rest in bed, avoid sexual activity, and take the pregnancy-preserving medication prescribed by your doctor. Observe your general condition. If you experience heavy vaginal bleeding, seek medical attention promptly.
