Can couples with chronic hepatitis B have children?

Patient's question:

Diagnosed in 1998, I didn't feel anything. It was only during a health check-up at the hospital that I found out.

Doctor's answer:

Hepatitis B patients can consider having children as long as their liver function is normal and their DNA is negative. They only need to receive one dose of hepatitis B immune globulin in the 7th, 8th, and 9th months of pregnancy, and one dose each 6 hours after birth and one month later. This can effectively prevent the spread of hepatitis B from mother to child and from father to child.
Patients with chronic hepatitis B (HBeAg-positive) have a severe condition and should seek immediate treatment. It is recommended that patients follow their doctor's advice for targeted treatment. At the same time, pay attention to dietary issues and avoid spicy and irritating foods to prevent worsening the condition.
The above information is hoped to assist you. Thank you.
