Patient's question:
At five months of pregnancy, I had a prenatal check-up and found out I was a carrier of the hepatitis B virus. Is it possible that the adult has hepatitis B? Will it affect the child? There are no hepatitis B patients in the family. Currently, I'm not sure what to do if I really have hepatitis B.Doctor's answer:
Hello! The hepatitis B virus is highly contagious, and you can be infected if you come into contact with an infected source. The hepatitis B virus is transmitted through mother-to-child transmission, blood, and sexual contact. Additionally, close contact and dietary habits can also lead to transmission. Treatment should be sought early. I wonder if the child has been born yet?
