Patient's question:
I am a carrier of the hepatitis B virus, due to the factor of intergenerational inheritance. I now have a family and have children, and I don't know if I can transmit it to them. Will work units like me accept me now?Doctor's answer:
A hepatitis B carrier may pass the virus to their child across generations. It is recommended that you take your child for persistent hepatitis B surface antigen and antibody testing to diagnose whether the child has been genetically transmitted the virus. If the child has not been genetically transmitted the virus, it is advised to promptly administer the hepatitis B vaccine. Regarding your workplace, many companies have relaxed their hepatitis B screening requirements. For example, public sector jobs such as teaching positions often require such testing.Finally, I would like to offer the following advice: Hepatitis B carriers should not feel psychological pressure and should learn to actively face the situation. If you constantly worry about it, life will become very dull. Liver disease can greatly interfere with a patient's life. Once you notice any symptoms, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. At the same time, pay close attention to dietary issues, with a focus on a light and balanced diet.
