Patient's question:
I am four and a half months pregnant. Yesterday, during my prenatal check-up, the doctor said I have "Hepatitis B surface antigen." I asked him, "Can I have the child?" The doctor said, "It's okay, get vaccinated later, and do the 'two pairs of half'?" What does that mean? Is there an infection? Will it affect the child? I'm so worried??Doctor's answer:
HBsAg positivity is observed during the incubation period of acute hepatitis B, and carriers also have positive HBsAg, which is not infectious itself. In this case, it is best to undergo a two-surface test. If it coexists with HBV, it is often used as one of the indicators of infectivity. If you want to have children, you can get vaccinated early, and your child will be protected from horizontal infection. The liver disease condition is very severe, and patients are advised to seek timely treatment. It is hoped that patients can follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, attention should be paid to self-care, proper diet, and avoiding worsening the condition.
