Patient's question:
My wife has hepatitis B. At the time of the divorce, I was unaware of it. We learned about it through a relative. After finding out, I couldn't forgive her for a long time, because it was after all related to my half-life and my future children. Now things are gradually improving, and we are also planning to have a child. What precautions should hepatitis B patients take before pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
If you are only a carrier and as long as your liver function is normal, you can get pregnant. The hepatitis B vaccine only requires one shot within 24 hours after birth and another one month later, followed by a general anesthesia once. The main purpose is to prevent the horizontal transmission of hepatitis B from mother to child and provide some protection for the infant. You yourself do not need anesthesia. Hepatitis B is a disease that is not easy to recover from. Patients should maintain a positive mindset and face it with optimism, as only this can boost their confidence in fighting hepatitis B and believe that recovery is certain.
