Hello,
With the question “Is hepatitis B after 9 months of birth any effect? ”, the doctor would like to answer as follows:
If you have hepatitis B while pregnant, your baby may be at risk of catching hepatitis B from you, if you are currently infected with hepatitis B, giving Breastfeeding, hugging, kissing, or eating with your baby is not at risk of hepatitis B infection. To confirm whether your child is infected with hepatitis B or not, you need to have your child tested for HBsAg now and when he or she turns 18. month.
If you still have questions about hepatitis B 9 months after giving birth, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
