Patient's question:
Got her to get blood tests done, and both the blood and liver function tests came back normal. Does this situation prove that my illness is mild? I want a baby now, but I don't want to infect my girlfriend. To be absolutely sure, what should I do now?Doctor's answer:
This friend, the condition has stabilized, and sexual activity is possible, but it needs to be restrained. Although hepatitis B is never inherited across generations, it is still a contagious disease. The strength of transmission is mainly determined by HBV DNA levels. The higher the number, the stronger the transmissibility. After treatment, the DNA can turn negative, and at that time, the baby is generally healthy. Hepatitis patients can, while understanding proper treatment, use dietary therapy as a complement to their treatment. In daily diet, it is crucial to avoid being overly hungry or overly full, and never overeat or binge on food.
