For many female patients with hepatitis B, they are very worried about whether they will transmit the virus to their children and get pregnant. I'm here to ask you, will hepatitis B really spread from mother to child?
In fact, if these three things can be done well, they may not be transmitted to children!
As we all know, hepatitis B virus is mainly transmitted through sexual behavior, blood and mother-to-child transmission.
Therefore, many women with hepatitis B are afraid to get pregnant for fear that the disease will be transmitted to the next generation.
It is understood that most children in China will be infected with hepatitis B virus, most of which are caused by mother-to-child transmission. If the mother suffers from hepatitis B during pregnancy or childbirth and does not take corresponding protective measures, more than 80% may make the newborn become a chronic hepatitis B or hepatitis B virus carrier.
Therefore, according to the above information, it is really possible for hepatitis B mothers to infect their children.
1, I had five hepatitis B tests in the first trimester.
Mother-to-child transmission is one of the main transmission routes of hepatitis B virus. Although the current medical conditions are not enough to eradicate hepatitis B, it is still possible to stop the spread of hepatitis B virus.
I would like to remind all married women with hepatitis B that during pregnancy, they must do five complete hepatitis B tests, and at the same time, they should regularly detect their own virus numbers to determine the best pregnancy time under the guidance of doctors.
2. Regular check-ups during pregnancy
For hepatitis B mothers, apart from pregnancy test and five hepatitis B tests during pregnancy, whether antiviral treatment is needed should be judged according to the test results of liver function, hepatitis B and DNA virus in the first three months of pregnancy.
In addition, for expectant mothers with high virus content, they must be vaccinated with hepatitis B immunoglobulin in time to prevent the virus from being transmitted to their children to the greatest extent.
3. Inoculate in time after delivery
For mothers with hepatitis B, hepatitis B immunoglobulin should be injected into their children within 12 hours after birth to prevent virus infection. Not only that, children should also be vaccinated against hepatitis B.
This is to block the invasion of the virus at the same time and form antibodies in children.
Hepatitis B vaccine needs to be injected three times, and children need to be injected twice when they are full moon and six months old to prevent newborns from being infected with hepatitis B virus to the maximum extent.
Although hepatitis B can't be completely cured so far, it can be done if we want to prevent hepatitis B virus from being transmitted to children. In order to give children a healthy future, expectant mothers must not recite it!
