Patient's question:
I am 38 years old. Recently, I feel that my liver is very tired. I haven't had a good appetite, and at night, I always feel a stomachache. I went to the nearby hospital for a check-up and was told it was liver disease. They asked me to get an injection. I am wondering if having a hepatitis B carrier pregnancy affects the fetus?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it's important to understand that the transmission of hepatitis B occurs through sexual contact, blood transmission, and mother-to-child transmission. There is a risk of the baby being infected, so it's necessary to promptly vaccinate the child with the hepatitis B vaccine within 24 hours after birth to break the chain of transmission and prevent the child from being infected. During pregnancy, it's necessary to maintain a positive mindset, and the pregnant woman should undergo regular prenatal check-ups and pay attention to rest.
