Question
Will the hepatitis B virus be transmitted to the child after a ‘Big Three Positive’ patient becomes pregnant?
Answer
Hepatitis B is not a hereditary disease but is transmitted through blood and bodily fluids. Therefore, if the ‘Big Three Positive’ patient has stable liver function and the virus is not replicating, they can consider marriage and childbirth. The partner needs to receive the hepatitis B vaccine and develop protective antibodies. For female hepatitis B patients, it is particularly important to prevent mother-to-child transmission. If the child is vaccinated with the hepatitis B vaccine within 24 hours of birth, it can help prevent infection. Although current Western medicine treatment methods for hepatitis B have not reached ideal results, traditional Chinese medicine has unique therapeutic effects in repairing liver function, eliminating immune mechanisms, and establishing a correct balanced response, which can help achieve the goal of healing. Wishing for a quick recovery!
