How is the hepatitis B virus treated?

Patient's question:

During a high school health check, it was found that I am a carrier of the hepatitis B virus. My mother suffers from hepatitis B. She was diagnosed with liver cancer five years ago and has passed away.

Doctor's answer:

Hepatitis B virus carriers can conceive, but to prevent transmission to the child, it is necessary to undergo a prophylactic treatment. You can administer high-titer hepatitis B immune globulin under anesthesia in the 7th, 8th, and 9th months of pregnancy, respectively. After the baby is born, administer one dose of high-titer hepatitis B immune globulin within 24 hours and another within half a month. Additionally, the child should receive hepatitis B vaccination within 24 hours of birth, at half a month, and at 6 months.
In addition, during the treatment of liver disease, besides timely medical care, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also crucial. The patient must maintain a light diet and always keep a cheerful and optimistic mindset to avoid unnecessary interference in the complete recovery from liver disease.
