Can people with chronic hepatitis B () get pregnant?

Patient's question:

Hello, I am an HBV carrier with normal liver function and transaminase levels. Can I get pregnant?

Doctor's answer:

Pregnant women should receive the hepatitis B high-titer immunoglobulin at the 789th week of pregnancy. After birth, the child should receive the first dose of high-titer hepatitis B immunoglobulin and a 30-microgram hepatitis B vaccine within 24 hours. Subsequently, the high-titer hepatitis B immunoglobulin should be administered at the 23rd month, and the 30-microgram hepatitis B vaccine should be given at the 26th month. Generally, this approach can maximize the likelihood of preventing the child from being infected.
After birth, the baby can be breastfed. Hepatitis B is never transmitted through the digestive tract. As long as proper hepatitis B mother-to-child transmission prevention measures are taken, breastfeeding can be implemented.
For patients, if the liver disease condition is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment should be initiated, and appropriate medication should be used. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of liver disease.
