Patient's question:
I am 29 years old this year. I got married just two years ago, and this year I am planning to have a child. However, during the health check-up, I was found to have chronic hepatitis B (). I don't quite understand what this disease is. I would like to ask the doctor if chronic hepatitis B affects fertility, could it affect the child, and can I still have a child?Doctor's answer:
The condition of itself will never affect having children, and the disease will also never be transmitted to the child through sperm. If antiviral drugs have been taken in the past, especially if interferon has been used, it may affect the quality of sperm. Therefore, it is recommended that hepatitis B patients consider conception after stopping medication for more than 6 months. After the child is born, it should be vaccinated with the hepatitis B vaccine in a timely manner.
