Patient's question:
I have a friend whose father suffers from hepatitis B. He himself does not carry the hepatitis B virus. If he gets divorced and has children, will the children be infected with hepatitis B? I kindly ask the experts to clarify this in their busy schedule?Doctor's answer:
Generally, if the man carries the hepatitis B virus, it has little impact on the child after divorce. However, if the woman is a hepatitis B patient, the risk of transmitting the virus to the fetus is higher. The hepatitis B virus is mainly spread through blood and mother-to-child transmission. According to your description, your friend's father has hepatitis B, but he himself does not carry the hepatitis B virus. If he has children after divorce, the child will absolutely not be infected with hepatitis B. I hope my explanation is helpful to you.Additionally, during the treatment of liver disease, the patient's dietary condition and care are also very important. The patient must pay attention to rest and can engage in appropriate activities to avoid unnecessary injuries.
