Patient's question:
My cousin has recently been feeling nauseous and wanting to vomit, and she always feels tired and wants to take a nap. Calculating the time, her period hasn't arrived for 12 days. She went to the hospital for a check-up, and the result was that she was pregnant. However, a year ago during her health check-up, she was found to have hepatitis B, but her liver function and hepatitis B virus DNA were normal. I don't know what precautions she should take this time.Doctor's answer:
If your liver function and hepatitis B virus DNA are normal, then it is possible to consider pregnancy. However, you must receive one dose of hepatitis B immune globulin at weeks 28, 32, and 36 of pregnancy. After the child is born, the first dose of hepatitis B vaccine must be administered within 12 hours. Then, breastfeeding can be implemented. The third dose of hepatitis B vaccine should be administered at one month and six months of age. This combined active immunization method can provide over 98% protection for the child.Additionally, during the treatment of hepatitis B, the patient's dietary condition and care are also very important. The patient must digest vitamins, prevent stomach problems, and maintain a light diet to avoid unnecessary harm.
