Can women with hepatitis B virus (HBsAg) still get pregnant?

After a period of hard work, the couple felt that the conditions were ripe and were ready to turn their world of two into a family of three. However, during the pre-pregnancy check-up, I found out that I had hepatitis B virus (HBV) positive. If I got pregnant at this time, I was afraid that the fetus would become a hepatitis B carrier. So, if a female friend has small triple positive, can she still get pregnant? What should she pay attention to?

Experts say that if it is small triple positive, liver function is normal, HBV-DNA is negative or within normal values, you can get pregnant. If the patient's hepatitis B virus (HBV) is in the active stage, liver function tests are abnormal, and the patient feels tired, has loss of appetite, and has abdominal distension, then pregnancy should be avoided. Since this stage is the active stage of liver inflammation, if you get pregnant at this stage, it will increase the burden on your body. The liver has to complete more work, and hepatitis will not be easy to recover. Instead, it will easily lead to severe hepatitis and endanger the life of the pregnant woman. In addition, it is not good for the development and growth of the fetus.

Some people find out that they have hepatitis B (type B viral hepatitis) during relevant examinations after pregnancy. If the liver function is not good within 3 months of pregnancy, and there are serious symptoms such as jaundice, nausea, and pain in the liver area, the baby cannot be kept and timely abortion is the only option. Otherwise it will be dangerous for both adults and children.

If the diagnosis is made in late pregnancy, the liver function is good and the symptoms are not severe, the baby can be saved, but the baby must be closely monitored and the patient must be hospitalized regularly for relevant examinations. At a certain point, blocking treatment will be required.

However, pregnancy will reduce the mother's immunity, so women with hepatitis B should closely observe their physical condition during pregnancy and go to the hospital regularly for liver function tests.

If you are pregnant with Hepatitis B virus (HBV), remember not to take any medicine without authorization. Any medicine during pregnancy should be taken under the guidance of a doctor. If pregnant women with hepatitis B virus (HBV) do not take corresponding blocking measures during pregnancy, the HBV infection rate in their next generation will be very high.

If you find out that you have Hepatitis B before getting pregnant, you can get pregnant if your liver function is normal. If your liver function is abnormal, try not to get pregnant. It is best to see a doctor first, and after you are cured, decide whether to get pregnant based on the doctor's advice. If you are already pregnant and find out that you have Hepatitis B, you should decide whether to continue the pregnancy based on your doctor's advice.
