Does having a baby with hepatitis B affect your health?

With the development of medicine, the medical community has discovered that many diseases are contagious. In order to keep fewer people away from infectious diseases, vaccines have been developed. However, some diseases can be transmitted from the mother to the fetus, so for the sake of the baby's health, pregnant women must take blocking measures during pregnancy. Big three Yang is a kind of liver disease. If a woman has big three Yang, will it affect her childbearing?

1. Can patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV) have children?

Liver disease experts point out that as long as the liver function of patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV) remains normal and stable for more than half a year, and the virus count is low or the hepatitis B virus DNA is negative, they can become pregnant. This can not only reduce the liver burden of pregnant women with hepatitis B virus (HBV), but also reduce the chance of the baby being infected with the hepatitis B virus. Women who are in the acute stage of hepatitis B, active stage of chronic hepatitis B, and stage of cirrhosis should not become pregnant or give birth.

In addition, if women with Hepatitis B virus (HBV) want to give birth to healthy children, in addition to choosing the right time to become pregnant, they must also take corresponding measures to prevent mother-to-child transmission of Hepatitis B, such as injecting a shot of highly effective Hepatitis B immunoglobulin every month after 6 months of pregnancy to prevent intrauterine infection in the baby. After the baby is born, the baby should be injected with a shot of highly effective Hepatitis B immunoglobulin and vaccinated with the hepatitis B vaccine according to the 0, 1, 6 principles to effectively prevent the baby from being infected with the hepatitis B virus.

Finally, liver disease experts remind that breastfeeding is not recommended for women with hepatitis B, because their breast milk contains hepatitis B virus particles, which are contagious to infants. In addition, the immune system of newborns is imperfect and their resistance is poor. When infected with the virus, they often cannot effectively identify and eliminate the hepatitis B virus, which leads to chronic infection.

If immunization is done before and after delivery, hepatitis B virus carriers and those whose condition is stable for a long time after treatment can have children. In fact, the vast majority of hepatitis B patients are chronic hepatitis B virus carriers. They do not have any physical discomfort, their liver function is completely normal, and they can get married and have children. However, hepatitis B vaccination must be carried out to block mother-to-child transmission.
