Patient's question:
Detection report: Positive for hepatitis B surface antigen, positive for hepatitis B E antibody, positive for hepatitis B core antibody (C), and the other three are negative. Can the placenta with be eaten?Doctor's answer:
Hepatitis B patients with also have hepatitis B virus in their placentas. Touching the placenta can be contaminated with hepatitis B virus, and if there is a wound on the hand, it may lead to hepatitis B transmission. If the placenta is heated and cooked, the hepatitis B virus will be killed, and it will not be contagious after consumption. It is recommended to avoid giving the placenta of patients to others as much as possible, as accidental infection with hepatitis B may occur. The patient's blood contains the virus and can directly spread it. Utensils contaminated with hepatitis B virus before heating the placenta may also serve as sources of infection. In fact, having a liver disease is not, and patients should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as symptoms are detected early and treated accordingly, the chances of alleviating the condition and recovering are very high.
