Patient's question:
I am currently 33 weeks pregnant. I had hepatitis B surface antigen positive () when I gave birth to my first child and did not breastfeed. Two years ago, it changed to hepatitis B surface antigen and antibody positive (), and it is still like this now. My liver function is also normal. Hello, can I breastfeed?Doctor's answer:
Now I am 33 weeks pregnant. When I gave birth to my first child, I had chronic hepatitis B (HBsAg positive). I did not breastfeed, and two years ago, it was converted to chronic hepatitis B (HBsAg negative). Currently, I still have chronic hepatitis B (HBsAg negative), and my liver function is normal. It is recommended that you get tested for HBV DNA quantification. If the results show a decrease, it is advisable not to breastfeed, as this would be beneficial for the baby. Chronic hepatitis B (HBsAg positive) is a condition that is difficult to resolve. Friends with the disease should maintain a positive mindset and face it with optimism, as only this can boost their confidence in combating the illness.
