Patient's question:
When I got married to my husband, he was 23 years old. However, because he had chronic hepatitis B (), he started treatment first, thinking he would wait until it was cured before having children. But he has been treated for a long time now, and it still hasn't been cured. With chronic hepatitis B (), when will my husband be able to have children?Doctor's answer:
For patients with hepatitis B surface antigen-positive (HBsAg-positive), thorough laboratory tests such as liver function and hepatitis B virus DNA should be conducted. If no issues are found, they can proceed to the pre-pregnancy stage. It is important to have the hepatitis B panel tested after the child is born. If necessary, enhanced immunoglobulins can be administered to the child to help prevent the recurrence of hepatitis B and other related conditions.
