Patient's question:
Before the divorce, my health check revealed that I had hepatitis B virus, but it has now been cured. However, I want to have children and am worried that it will affect the child and transmit the virus to the child. I want to know if it can be transmitted to the fetus?Doctor's answer:
The mother is a carrier, with a higher chance of infection, while the risk for males is lower.Recommendation: Two months before conception, the carrier should be tested for hepatitis B antibodies. After the child is born, antibodies and the vaccine can be administered. Carriers of the hepatitis B virus generally do not transmit the infection to the fetus. During pregnancy, it is best to inform the doctor about the situation, and before delivery, the same should be done to ensure proper precautions.
Hepatitis B can cause significant harm to patients. Once symptoms are detected, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. At the same time, patients should pay close attention to self-care, such as eating more vegetables and fruits and avoiding foods. It is hoped that hepatitis B patients can receive professional treatment.
