How is hepatitis B virus carriage treated?

Patient's question:

When I got married, I got tested and found out that I am an HBV carrier. Will it affect the baby if my wife gets pregnant?

Doctor's answer:

According to the situation you described, a hepatitis B carrier can have children, but must undergo a father-mother-child virus interruption. This involves receiving a hepatitis B immune globulin shot every month during the last trimester of pregnancy (months 7, 8, 9). After the child is born, they should receive a dose of hepatitis B vaccine within 24 hours, along with a separate dose of hepatitis B immune globulin in a different location. Subsequently, they should receive hepatitis B vaccine shots at months 0, 1, and 6. This way, a healthy baby can be ensured.
In addition, during the treatment of liver disease, the patient must not only take medication but also pay close attention to their dietary habits and psychological state. It is essential for the patient to maintain a light diet and always keep a cheerful and optimistic mindset.
