Question
If the level of Hepatitis B Virus DNA is 6.87×10^6 IU/mL, is it in an active phase? Can breastfeeding transmit the virus to the baby 100%? The baby has already received the Hepatitis B vaccine; is it effective?
Answer
It is not recommended to breastfeed due to the possibility of transmitting the virus to the baby. Even if the baby has been vaccinated, it is not guaranteed that antibodies have been produced, and the baby’s immune system is relatively weak. There is currently no reliable medication for treating Hepatitis B, and drug treatment usually requires lifelong medication, which may cause viral mutations and toxic side effects on other organs. In comparison, cellular therapy has shown higher efficacy in treating Hepatitis B by using the body’s own immune cells to effectively clear the Hepatitis B virus. You can learn more about cellular therapy through our hospital’s website or directly consult our experts. It is suggested to avoid alcohol consumption, maintain a cheerful mood, avoid using drugs harmful to the liver, exercise moderately, and avoid eating spicy and irritating foods. Consume more vegetables, fruits, and high-protein, high-vitamin foods.
