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 sharp pain in my stomach. I went to the nearby hospital for a check-up and was told it was liver disease. They asked me to get an injection. Can a pregnant woman with hepatitis B breastfeed?Doctor's answer:
If the viral load in the body of a patient with minor hepatitis B is relatively low, breastfeeding can be implemented. Breast milk is the safest and most ideal food for children. After the child is born, it is necessary to give them the full course of hepatitis B vaccination to prevent the mother from transmitting hepatitis B to the child. The main transmission routes of hepatitis B are sexual transmission, mother-to-child transmission, and blood transmission. The amount of virus in breast milk is relatively small.
