Patient's question:
Since I am a carrier of the hepatitis B virus, my condition improved after taking Dianine and Adefovir for two consecutive years, but I didn't stop taking the medication. Recently, I found out I'm pregnant. What should I do about my hepatitis B?Doctor's answer:
Medications for hepatitis viruses are generally teratogenic to the fetus and should be discontinued by pregnant women. Considering you have been taking them for two years, the harm to the fetus is significant. It is recommended to avoid pregnancy for the time being. If you still want to have a child, you should wait until your condition stabilizes and stop taking the medication for about three months before trying. This will be beneficial for both you and the fetus. There are many treatment methods for liver disease, but since the symptoms of patients vary, the treatment approaches also differ. Therefore, patients need timely and thorough examination and diagnosis to receive symptomatic treatment.
