Can people with hepatitis B have children?

Hepatitis B is a relatively serious liver disease. This liver disease has a genetic tendency, so we need to do relevant isolation. Hepatitis B is also highly contagious, so patients need to receive timely treatment. Patients with hepatitis B cannot have children. They will pass the hepatitis B virus to their children, and the hepatitis B virus can be transmitted to their children. Therefore, for the health of their offspring, patients with hepatitis B should not take measures to get pregnant.

1. Can people with hepatitis have children?

1. Hepatitis carriers can get married and have children normally. They can get pregnant as long as their liver function is normal. During pregnancy, liver function and hepatitis B virus should be closely monitored. If liver function is repeatedly abnormal, tenofovir can be taken to fight the virus. If the viral load is high, it must be blocked. After the child is born, hepatitis B vaccine and hepatitis B immunoglobulin should be given, so that the child will not be infected.

2. Mother-to-child transmission blocking can be performed during pregnancy to prevent transmission to the child. It is recommended that patients undergo five hepatitis B tests, viral load, liver function, blood routine, and color Doppler ultrasound of the liver, gallbladder, and spleen before giving birth to a baby for a comprehensive analysis of the condition and then make specific considerations. If the viral load is not too high, the transaminase is not high, and the infectiousness is not strong, you can consider pregnancy. If you have not received antiviral treatment in the past six months, it is recommended to stop the medication for more than half a year before continuing with antiviral treatment.

3. Hepatitis B patients can have children, but they need to pay attention to choosing the right time when pregnant, otherwise it may bring danger to the mother and baby. The right time for pregnancy is when the virus in the body has been inactive for more than half a year, and the liver function has been normal for more than half a year, then you can consider pregnancy. Otherwise, it is recommended to treat the disease first and then choose to get pregnant.

In short, patients with hepatitis B virus can have children, but they need to pay attention to some matters. As long as your liver function is normal, you can give birth to children like a normal person. Generally, as long as you inject your child with high-efficiency hepatitis B immunoglobulin and hepatitis B vaccine during delivery, it will be very well protected. You need to go to the hospital to inquire about the specific situation. I hope the above content will be helpful to you.

2. Check out the hazards of five types of hepatitis

1. Hepatitis B virus

Because hepatitis B does not show symptoms immediately after infection, patients can also become asymptomatic virus carriers. Moreover, if hepatitis B patients do not pay attention in their daily lives and do not receive timely treatment, the hepatitis B virus, which still has strong replication and infectiousness, will seriously damage the human liver. Some of these carriers can develop acute and chronic hepatitis B, cirrhosis or liver cancer.

2. Hepatitis A virus

Hepatitis A is transmitted through digestive tract infection. If the nearby water source is infected with the hepatitis A virus, then people drinking nearby water sources will be infected with hepatitis A. The spread of hepatitis A can cover a large area. During war, the military and civilians may also suffer from large epidemics due to poor hygiene conditions. The factory is going to stop production due to epidemic. The epidemic of school closures has increased social burden and panic.

3. Hepatitis E virus

The transmission routes of hepatitis E virus and hepatitis A virus are somewhat similar. Both spread the virus on a large scale through infection of the digestive tract, causing pandemics affecting tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people. They can also cause small local food-borne epidemics due to activities such as dinner parties. The first thing we should do for these widespread hepatitis viruses is to maintain personal hygiene and not be easily infected by the virus.

4. Hepatitis C virus

The exact viral morphology of hepatitis C virus has not yet been seen. Hepatitis C virus and hepatitis B virus are transmitted in the same way, but the concentration of hepatitis C virus in the blood is much lower than that of hepatitis B virus. Although the virus is also excreted in semen, saliva, and vaginal secretions, the amount is not large and it is not as contagious as hepatitis B virus.

5. Hepatitis D virus

Because the hepatitis D virus is a defective virus, its outer membrane is the hepatitis B surface antigen, and the core part is the component of the hepatitis D virus. Therefore, the hepatitis D virus will not infect alone. It is possible to co-infect with the hepatitis B virus. Because the patient has been infected with the hepatitis B virus, once infected with the hepatitis D virus, the patient's condition will be aggravated.
