Patient's question:
I have always been living and eating with the hepatitis B patient (my mother), and my mother has a skin disease. Due to the itching from the skin disease, it often happens that her skin gets scratched and broken.Doctor's answer:
The situation you mentioned will never be contagious to the baby in the womb. It's fine for your mother to take care of you during labor, but the baby's skin is very delicate, so it's best not to have her take care of you in the early stages. Of course, since not all hepatitis B patients have high viral levels, you can have your mother check her viral DNA. If it's not high, she can take care of the baby. If it's high, it's best not to have her take care of the baby. It's much safer to wait until the baby has received the hepatitis B vaccine and has developed antibodies before having her take care of the baby.In addition, during the treatment of liver disease, in addition to timely treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also very important. The patient must always maintain a cheerful mood and eat properly to avoid unnecessary interference with the complete recovery of the liver disease.
