Patient's question:
I am a chronic hepatitis B patient with a small positive three-phase hepatitis B surface antigen. I have been suffering from hepatitis B for over ten years and have never been able to achieve a negative result through treatment. Now I am three months pregnant, and my family members are worried about whether I will transmit the disease to my child in the future. They are hesitant about whether to continue the pregnancy.Doctor's answer:
First, the infectiousness of is relatively low, so don't worry. It is recommended to go to a hospital for infectious diseases to have a comprehensive check on DNA levels to see if it is necessary to prevent mother-to-child transmission. However, it is relatively easy for mothers with hepatitis B to give birth to healthy babies now. As long as preventive measures are taken in a timely manner, the chance of transmitting the virus to the baby is very small. You should get vaccinated with high-efficiency hepatitis B immune globulin promptly, and after the child is born, you should also get vaccinated with the hepatitis B vaccine. Additionally, focus on good nutrition and get adequate rest.In addition to timely treatment for liver disease, patient friends should always maintain a positive attitude to face the illness. Only in this way can patients receive timely and appropriate treatment. At the same time, they should pay close attention to their dietary care, monitor a balanced nutrition, and ensure that the body is well-nourished. They believe that this will definitely drive liver disease away.
