Can hepatitis B patients have children?

Patient's question:

Gender: Female
Age: 26
Diagnosed with hepatitis B in April last year. After treatment, I still have chronic hepatitis B (HBeAg positive), but other tests are normal. Currently taking Vilitef capsules.
Hello: Can I have children now? Do I need to stop medication?

Doctor's answer:

It is possible to have children with chronic hepatitis B. Liver disease will never be inherited across generations. The key is to prevent transmission during pregnancy. It is recommended to wait until the condition stabilizes after stopping medication before planning a pregnancy. Additionally, during the 7th, 8th, and 9th months of pregnancy, administer a dose of high-titer hepatitis B immune globulin to block the spread of the hepatitis B virus from the mother to the fetus. After the baby is born, immediately administer another dose of high-titer hepatitis B immune globulin.
Patients face the dangers of liver disease, and we should promptly follow the principle of symptomatic treatment. Avoid delaying medical consultation. If the liver disease does not improve with treatment, it is essential to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
