Patient's question:
Will hepatitis B with high viral load be inherited across generations? My mother has hepatitis B, and I also had it when I was born. So if I have children in the future, I will definitely not pass it down to my children across generations!Doctor's answer:
With hepatitis B (), there are concerns about mother-to-child transmission. Hepatitis B is a contagious disease, not a property-related condition. You were born with it, and it is transmitted through mother-to-child transmission. You need regular follow-up tests. Currently, the prevention of mother-to-child transmission has been achieved quite well, which can protect your child from infection. There is no need to worry. If you are not taking medication and your liver function is normal for over a year, you can get pregnant and have a child. After the child is born, timely administration of hepatitis B immune globulin and hepatitis B vaccine can prevent mother-to-child transmission. If your viral load is high, breastfeeding is not recommended. Patients facing hepatitis B () interference should actively undergo testing and treatment without avoiding medical visits.
