Patient's question:
Hello, if your father is an HBV carrier, will the child have hereditary transmission? If so, how can it be appropriately prevented?Doctor's answer:
Hepatitis B virus carriers are still contagious, and father-to-child transmission is one of the main routes of hepatitis B transmission. Therefore, it is possible to transmit the virus to the child. To effectively prevent father-to-child transmission, your partner must first be vaccinated with the hepatitis B vaccine and must have hepatitis B surface antibodies before pregnancy. Then she can become pregnant. After the child is born, the hepatitis B vaccine should be administered in the order of 0, 1, and 6 to maximize the prevention efforts and reduce the risk of the child being infected. At the same time, pay close attention to your own dietary care and monitor any changes in your symptoms, believing that this will help drive away liver disease.
