Does hepatitis B affect the next generation?

Patient's question:

My friend is getting married, but she has been tested positive for the hepatitis B virus. Will this affect her ability to get pregnant in the future?

Doctor's answer:

If a woman carries the hepatitis B virus, it will certainly interfere with future pregnancies, and it is necessary to take special measures during the later stages of pregnancy to ensure the child's health. It is not advisable to have natural early pregnancy like normal people. If there is hepatitis B virus carriage, the mother should receive one dose of hepatitis B immune globulin each month during the sixth, seventh, and eighth months of pregnancy. After the child is born, artificial feeding should be used to prevent the child from being affected. Liver disease patients can understand and treat symptoms while using dietary therapy as a supplementary treatment in daily life. Proper diet should be maintained in daily eating to avoid stimulating foods.
