Does having hepatitis B affect children?

Patient's question:

I have hepatitis B but want to have a child. Will it affect the child? What kind of protection is needed?

Doctor's answer:

General hepatitis B virus is usually transmitted to offspring through the mother-to-child route. My advice is to pay attention to visiting the hospital for multiple check-ups during your pregnancy, primarily to monitor the fetal growth and development. If the child is born healthy, you should not breastfeed them, as this can also spread the hepatitis B virus to the child. Please take note of these points, and then consult various magazines to prepare for proper care. In addition to timely treatment for hepatitis B, patient friends should maintain a positive mindset to face the disease, as only this can help reduce the patient's immunity and strengthen their belief in combating the illness.
