Patient's question:
My hepatitis B was inherited from my family across generations. My father has it, and my younger brother also has it. They are both, and my condition is a bit better than theirs. Now that I'm divorced, I want a healthy baby, but my hepatitis B was passed down from my father across generations. I'm afraid of passing it down to my child through intergenerational inheritance. Can a person with have a baby?Doctor's answer:
It is generally believed that if a person's close relatives are healthy, an hepatitis B carrier can give birth to a healthy baby. Since father-to-child transmission is also an important route of hepatitis B transmission. Scientific and effective preventive measures should be implemented after the baby is born: anesthetize the hepatitis B vaccine within 24 hours of birth, and administer the third and second vaccine shots at one month and six months respectively, while also administering high-efficiency hepatitis B immune globulin. The daily treatment for hepatitis B patients is mainly symptomatic treatment. Patients can take some oral medications, supplement with vitamins, and pay attention to self-care, proper diet, and avoid cold foods.
