Patient's question:
In May 2010, I had a health check-up and did not realize I had hepatitis B surface antigen positive (HBsAg positive) before becoming pregnant. In 2010, I discovered I was pregnant, and during the prenatal check-up at 3 months of pregnancy, a urine test revealed that I had hepatitis B surface antigen positive (HBsAg positive).Doctor's answer:
You have hepatitis B, but there is no need to worry. After pregnancy, you can undergo mother-to-child transmission prevention. Specifically, receive a dose of hepatitis B immune globulin each month during the last three months of pregnancy (7th, 8th, and 9th months). Within 24 hours of the baby's birth, administer one dose of hepatitis B vaccine, and give the hepatitis B immune globulin at a different site. Subsequently, receive hepatitis B vaccine injections at months 0, 1, and 6. This will ensure a healthy baby.If the liver disease condition is severe, it is recommended that the patient seek immediate treatment. It is hoped that the patient can follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, pay attention to self-care, maintain a proper diet, and avoid worsening the condition.
