Patient's question:
Test report: HBsAg positive, anti-HBe positive, anti-HBc (C) positive, the other three are negative. Can the placenta with be eaten?Doctor's answer:
Hepatitis B patients with the small triangle positive status also have hepatitis B virus in the placenta. Touching the placenta can be contaminated with hepatitis B virus, and if there are wounds on the hands, 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 small triangle positive patients to others, as accidental infection with hepatitis B may occur. The patient's blood contains the virus, which can directly spread, and contaminated utensils before heating the placenta may also serve as a source of infection. In fact, having a liver disease is not frightening. 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.
