Patient's question:
I am an HBV carrier and planning to get married and have children. I would like to ask, can an HBV carrier develop into the "big three" (HBeAg positive, HBsAg positive, and anti-HBe positive) or "small three" (HBeAg negative, HBsAg positive, and anti-HBe positive) stages? If I get married and have children, will my child also be an HBV carrier? What can I do to ensure that my child is not a carrier? Please reply.Doctor's answer:
A hepatitis B carrier may develop into big three positive, small three positive, or both. It is necessary to regularly check hepatitis B markers and hepatitis B virus at the hospital. If hepatitis B virus reappears, antiviral medication should be taken, and liver-protecting drugs should also be used for better treatment effects. In daily life, it is recommended to eat a lot of vegetables and fruits, avoid drinking beer, and not eat spicy food to prevent further liver damage.
