Patient's question:
We have been married for two years. Because I have hepatitis B with a high viral load, I have always been afraid to have children. Every time we have sex, we have taken precautions, but this time I unexpectedly got pregnant. Now I am already six months pregnant, and I am very afraid of passing my disease to my child. After researching, I found out that I need to get immunoglobulin shots now.Doctor's answer:
Actually, there's nothing particularly noteworthy to pay attention to. However, the hepatitis B immune globulin is not administered at this time. Infants born to "positive" mothers should receive the second dose of hepatitis B immune globulin and 10ug of hepatitis B vaccine within 24 hours after birth, at different parts of the body—the earlier, the better. Then, they should receive the same two injections again at one month and six months, respectively. This cutoff method has an efficacy rate of over 85%.Additionally, for patients with chronic hepatitis B during treatment, their dietary condition and care are also crucial. Patients must pay close attention to their diet and consume more light foods to avoid unnecessary harm.
