Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. Our family has a genetic history. Can hepatitis B be passed down to children across generations? I went for a check-up last time, and the result was positive.Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the three major routes of hepatitis B transmission are blood transmission, sexual transmission, and mother-to-child transmission. If you get your child vaccinated immediately after giving birth, there is a high chance of interrupting the transmission. The main preventive measure to prevent transmission to the child is to first give the child the hepatitis B vaccine if the child does not have hepatitis B, and then avoid letting the child come into contact with blood in daily life. In fact, having hepatitis B is not scary. Patients should believe that they can overcome the disease. As long as timely treatment is provided in the early stages, the chances of suppressing the condition and recovering are very high.
