Patient's question:
I am the wife of a hepatitis B carrier. My wife unexpectedly got pregnant at 40 days. What should I do? How can I prevent my son from getting infected with the hepatitis B virus?Doctor's answer:
There is a risk of healthcare-associated infection. Mother-to-child transmission. Spreading during surgery. Close contact transmission. Sexual transmission. I don't know how your wife was infected during the incubation period. If she was, there is a possibility of infection, but the condition is that you don't have antibodies and have oral or gastrointestinal mucosal damage. In short, the possibility is very small. If you are not at ease, you can do an HBsAg test. In fact, getting hepatitis B is not terrible. Patients should believe that they can overcome the disease. As long as the condition is detected early and timely treatment is provided, the chances of controlling the condition and recovery are very high.
