Hello doctor! This year, I am 35 years old, infected with hepatitis B virus. The doctor asked me if I have a baby, will it affect me? I hope you can give me some advice, thanks.

Hello doctor, I am having a baby for 5 months and when I got a blood test, I found out that I have hepatitis B. I am very worried because I am afraid of transmitting it to my baby. Please consult a doctor for treatment! Thank you

Hello! Hepatitis B is caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV) that attacks and damages the liver. Most infected adults can get rid of the hepatitis B virus easily. However, during pregnancy, the rate of hepatitis B transmission from mother to child during pregnancy does not exceed 2%.
If you intend to have a baby when infected with hepatitis B virus, you need to see a specialist in Gastroenterology and hepatobiliary disease to monitor the progress of the disease during pregnancy for treatment if necessary and prevention of infection. Baby canine hepatitis virus at birth
