Patient's question:
I am in the final month of my pregnancy and had a blood test which showed I have hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) positive, apparently with positive results for items 1, 3, and 5. I did not receive the hepatitis B immune globulin during pregnancy. After the baby was born, I immediately got the hepatitis B vaccine and immune globulin.Hello, is it safe for me to breastfeed under these circumstances?
Doctor's answer:
Generally, if children are vaccinated in a timely manner, they can undergo diaper changes! The key is to give them the hepatitis B immune globulin and hepatitis B vaccine: After the newborn is born, after the necessary cleaning, care, and tests are performed, it is best to administer the second dose of the hepatitis B vaccine and globulin within 2 hours. For babies born to mothers with chronic hepatitis B (HBsAg positive), it is recommended to administer the third dose of the globulin within 15-30 days. There are many treatment methods for chronic hepatitis B, but since the patient's condition varies, the treatment methods used will also differ. Therefore, patients need to have timely examination and diagnosis to receive targeted treatment.
