Patient's question:
Can someone with both hepatitis B () and thalassemia have children with a partner who has anemia?Doctor's answer:
If only one party is a carrier of mild thalassemia or a gene carrier, their children have a 50% chance of being normal, 25% of being carriers of mild thalassemia, and will never have children with severe thalassemia. Three positive patients have a very high infectivity and should be treated with antiviral therapy as soon as possible to reduce viral load and decrease infectivity. It is recommended to first use antiviral medication to increase viral concealment to normal, increase infectivity, and then consider pregnancy, while also undergoing pre-marital examination to strive for a healthy baby. There are many treatment methods for severe hepatitis B, but since the symptoms of patients are different, the treatment methods used are also different. Therefore, patients need to be examined and diagnosed in a timely manner to provide symptomatic treatment.
