Can I get pregnant if I have Hepatitis B virus (HBV)?

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is highly infectious and the condition is generally serious, which has a certain impact on marriage and pregnancy. Although patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV) can get married and have children, they must pay more attention when getting married and having children. First of all, patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV) must undergo a comprehensive examination before getting married or choosing to have a baby, understand their actual condition, and decide whether they can get married and have a baby based on their condition.

For patients with normal liver function tests, HBV-DNA and other tests, and whose condition has been stable for more than half a year, they can get pregnant and do a good job of testing during pregnancy. They can be injected with a high-efficiency hepatitis B immunoglobulin in the 7th, 8th and 9th month of pregnancy to prevent the transmission of hepatitis B virus from the pregnant woman to the fetus through the uterine cavity. After the newborn is born, he should be injected with a high-efficiency hepatitis B immunoglobulin immediately and the hepatitis B vaccine at the same time. From then on, the hepatitis B vaccine should be injected in the 1st and 6th month, which can protect more than 95% of newborns from vertical transmission from the previous generation of hepatitis B parents.

Clinical symptoms of hepatitis B virus

1. Systemic symptoms

The liver affects the entire body. Due to abnormal liver function, hepatitis B carriers often feel sleepy, physically exhausted, have edema in the lower limbs or the whole body, are easily fatigued, lack of energy, and suffer from insomnia, nightmares and other hepatitis B symptoms. A few people will continue to have hepatitis B symptoms similar to fever and cold.

2. Digestive tract symptoms

The liver is a key digestive system in the body. Hepatitis B carriers often have significant hepatitis B symptoms such as poor appetite, nausea, aversion to oil, upper abdominal discomfort, and bloating due to reduced bile metabolism.

3. Jaundice

The liver is the nerve center for bilirubin metabolism. Hepatitis B carriers have increased total bilirubin concentrations in their blood, which can lead to jaundice, particularly yellow skin and urine, and strong tea-colored urine, among other symptoms of hepatitis B.

4. Dull pain in the liver area

The liver is generally not easy to feel pain, but there are pain nerves distributed on the perihepatic membrane on the surface of the liver. When hepatitis B becomes malignant, hepatitis B carriers will experience symptoms of hepatitis B such as discomfort and dull pain in the right upper abdomen and right hypochondrium.

5. Splenomegaly

Hepatitis B carriers often experience hepatitis B symptoms such as liver enlargement due to inflammation, hematoma, edema, and cholestasis.

6. Main manifestations of the palm

Many hepatitis B carriers will experience hepatitis B symptoms such as liver palms. The surface of the palms of hepatitis B carriers will be red and congested, and there will be obvious tenderness and pain on the palm surface of the second joint of the ring finger of the right hand, and other symptoms of hepatitis B.

7. Main manifestations of skin

Many chronic hepatitis patients, especially patients with cirrhosis, have a dull or dark complexion, which is called liver disease face. This may be a symptom of hepatitis B caused by endocrine imbalance. In addition, hepatitis B carriers will continue to have hepatitis B symptoms such as spider nevi on their skin.
