Patient's question:
I have chronic hepatitis B (), and it's congenital. Will it be contagious? If it is, why hasn't my husband been infected? If I have children, will the child definitely be infected?Doctor's answer:
Hepatitis B is caused by the hepatitis B virus and is contagious. If your liver function is abnormal, you should seek active treatment. If your liver function is normal, you need to have regular liver function tests. The general route of infection is through bloodborne transmission. As for whether you can be infected, you can find out by getting tested for the five hepatitis B markers at the hospital. Additionally, it is best for the entire family to get vaccinated to produce antibodies against hepatitis B. Children born to infected mothers do not necessarily contract the disease, and newborns should receive passive immunity and vaccination after birth. In addition to treating hepatitis B, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a positive mood to enhance their physical health and accelerate recovery.
