Patient's question:
My husband recently had a flare-up of hepatitis. He had it before, and later the virus levels dropped. Recently, when he got tested, it was over 10 million. His ALT is 75. I want to ask if it's okay to get pregnant and have a child now? I want to consult if the virus will infect me if I get pregnant.Doctor's answer:
Hello, friend. The hepatitis B virus is mainly spread through mother-to-child transmission, blood, and sexual contact. It's best for you to get tested for the HBsAg, HBeAg, anti-HBe, and anti-HBs (the "two pairs of half"). If all five items are negative, you should get vaccinated as soon as possible and practice separate dining and use condoms during sex to prevent transmission.Currently, his liver function is abnormal, and the viral load is high. For the health of the next generation, it's best to have children only after his liver function returns to normal. This will be better for the child's health.
Hepatitis is a disease that is difficult to fully recover from. Patients should maintain a positive attitude and face it with optimism. Only in this way can they boost their confidence in fighting hepatitis and believe that they will surely recover.
