Can someone with chronic hepatitis B (HBsAg positive) have children?

Patient's question:

With hepatitis B, can you get pregnant? Will it be transmitted to the next generation after having children?

Doctor's answer:

Hepatitis B with a large positive (HBeAg positive) can also conceive. It is recommended to seek treatment to convert to a small positive (HBeAg negative) for better outcomes. Generally, during the seventh, eighth, and ninth months of pregnancy, an immune globulin injection should be administered, as well as one after the child is born, along with the hepatitis B vaccine, which can help to some extent in blocking transmission. Wishing you good health.
For severe patients with a large positive, it is advised to seek immediate medical attention and follow the doctor's recommendations for treatment. Avoid changing medications arbitrarily, as this may have the opposite effect on the treatment outcome.
