Patient's question:
Is it harmful to the body if the liver function is normal but the viral load is very high in someone with chronic hepatitis B? I have had chronic hepatitis B for several years, and the virus has been active the entire time. Now that I am pregnant, I feel better physically, but the viral load is still very high. Why is this? Also, every time I go to the hospital, the doctors say it's not necessary to take medication and just need to be checked once a year. Just a few days ago, I had a viral load test result of 9.05e7.Doctor's answer:
If the virus count in a person with hepatitis B is high, it can cause significant interference to the body. Without timely treatment, it can harm the liver. Moreover, a high virus copy count also means a stronger, which can greatly affect those around you and your future life. Based on your current condition, it is not advisable for you to become pregnant. In reality, having hepatitis B is not something to be feared. Patients should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as symptoms are detected early and appropriate treatment is provided, the chances of alleviating the condition and recovering are very high.
