Hepatitis B is an infectious disease. If you do not pay attention to the separation of dishes and chopsticks at home and the isolation of patients, it will be transmitted to your family. Hepatitis B can infect anyone regardless of age. Even pregnant women are vulnerable to hepatitis B. Why can they be infected with hepatitis B during pregnancy?
The prevalence of hepatitis B is not directly related to pregnancy. hepatitis B is mainly transmitted through sex, blood, mother and baby, but women have poor resistance during pregnancy. If there is damage to the oral mucosa or bleeding gums, the virus can also be transmitted through saliva.
Infection with hepatitis B during pregnancy is unlikely to heal itself. In addition, the burden on the liver during pregnancy will increase, which will also lead to the aggravation of hepatitis B, which will affect the health of the fetus. In this case, active treatment is required.
Hepatitis B infection during pregnancy belongs to acute hepatitis B. At this time, we must closely monitor the changes of liver function. Under the guidance of the specialist, we should give treatment such as liver protection and enzyme reduction. If necessary, we can also use anti-virus treatment. In order to prevent hepatitis B from infecting children, it is recommended to inject hepatitis B immunoglobulin respectively in July, August and September of pregnancy, inject hepatitis B immunoglobulin within 6 hours of birth, and inject hepatitis B vaccine within 24 hours of birth. During this period, it is not recommended to let children eat breast milk.
