Patient's question:
I am 27 years old this year. I just had a baby two months ago and am still breastfeeding. However, I was carefully diagnosed with hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) positive. Because I am in the breastfeeding period, I dare not seek treatment, so I would like to ask if my current condition allows me to breastfeed my child with my own milk?Doctor's answer:
During breastfeeding, if you have hepatitis B with a small triangle positive, you must go to the hospital for a check-up to see how high the DNA virus is in your body. If it is high, you should first stop breastfeeding and start your own antiviral treatment. If the amount of this virus is not too high, above 1000, then you can continue breastfeeding. However, you should also have regular check-ups at the hospital for liver function, hepatitis B five items, and viral load.
