What should I do if I am pregnant with hepatitis B?

Patient's question:

I have had hepatitis B since I was a child. I have been tested every year, and my liver function has always been normal. It has never recurred. I am also a hepatitis B virus carrier. Now that I am pregnant, what should I pay attention to?

Doctor's answer:

In your case, it is recommended to receive anesthesia and hepatitis B immune globulin during the 7th, 8th, and 9th months of pregnancy to prevent the transmission of hepatitis B to the child. If necessary, you can take nucleoside drugs orally in the later stages of pregnancy to enhance the antiviral effect. There are many treatments for liver disease, but since the symptoms of patients vary, the treatment methods also differ. Therefore, patients need to have timely examination and diagnosis to receive appropriate treatment.
