Patient's question:
Do I need to have anesthesia for the hepatitis B immune globulin? I consulted at Suzhou Infectious Disease Hospital, and they said it's no longer necessary. They no longer use this method and just anesthetize directly during supply. I've asked several hospitals and disease control centers, but none of them sell this medication. If I buy it from your hospital, can the medication be prepared on Saturdays and Sundays?Doctor's answer:
Hello, friend: If you are a hepatitis B carrier with a high viral load and become pregnant, it is recommended to receive anesthesia for hepatitis B immune globulin during the 7th, 8th, and 9th months of pregnancy. After the child is born, anesthesia for high-efficiency hepatitis B immune globulin and hepatitis B vaccine should be administered within 24 hours. This can maximize the likelihood of preventing mother-to-child transmission. If there is no medication available, at least anesthesia should be administered within 24 hours after birth. The daily treatment for hepatitis B patients primarily involves symptomatic treatment. Patients can take many oral medications, supplement with various vitamins, and pay attention to regular routines, avoiding smoking and alcohol. We hope hepatitis B patients can recover as soon as possible! Thank you!
