Patient's question:
What medical tests should a person get before getting pregnant? Will carrying the hepatitis B virus affect the child's health?Doctor's answer:
Generally, routine check-ups are sufficient. Depending on whether you have a history of miscarriage or other issues, you can decide on the specific tests yourself. If you have the (HBeAg negative) strain, it's acceptable, but if you have the (HBeAg positive) strain, you should consider getting tested at the hospital to check if your liver function is normal and how much virus is present. Liver disease is not easily resolved. Patients should maintain a positive mindset and face the condition with optimism, as this can boost their confidence in combating liver disease and increase their chances of recovery.
