Patient's question:
My brother-in-law got hepatitis last year, which might be an inherited condition from his family through generations. My sister-in-law said her father had hepatitis and eventually died of liver cancer. My brother-in-law's condition isn't as severe now, but it's said that liver diseases are contagious. The couple, besides their child, have the closest contact.Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help you clarify this. First, you need to confirm whether you have been infected. Go to the hospital to get tested for the five hepatitis B items. If you haven't been infected and have antibodies, you can have children. The transmission of hepatitis B can be 100% prevented. Even if the pregnant woman has hepatitis B, it can be completely avoided.Hello: If you have antibodies, the impact on the child is not significant. However, the main issue is your husband and your daily contact. If his disease is highly contagious, there is still a risk of transmission. In fact, having hepatitis is not scary. Patients should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as symptoms are detected early and treated accordingly, the chances of suppressing the condition and recovering are very high.
