Will chronic hepatitis B affect pregnancy?

Patient's question:

What is meant by "turning negative" - does it mean still carrying the virus after turning negative, or does the blood become the same as that of a healthy person?

Doctor's answer:

This does not interfere with pregnancy. Women who carry the hepatitis B virus and become pregnant can start receiving one dose of hepatitis B immune globulin monthly from the third month of pregnancy, effectively protecting the fetus. For women who are already pregnant and found to be hepatitis B carriers, newborns should receive a double dose of the hepatitis B vaccine immediately within 24 hours of birth, followed by booster doses one month and six months later. This can achieve an 86.65% protection rate for newborns. We must face the challenges of chronic hepatitis B (), and we should promptly follow the principle of symptomatic treatment without avoiding medical consultation. If chronic hepatitis B persists despite treatment, it is essential to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
