Can hepatitis C give birth to children

summary

Last month, I felt a little uncomfortable, so I went to the hospital for examination, but I found out that I had chronic viral hepatitis. When I learned that I had this disease, it was really a bolt from the blue. I was still so young, and I was less than 3 months pregnant, so I was really afraid that it would affect my child. Now let's see if hepatitis C can give birth.

Can hepatitis C give birth to children

First: hepatitis C is an infectious disease caused by hepatitis C virus, mainly through blood, mother to child, sexual life and other means of transmission. It depends on the number of viruses. If the number of viruses is reduced to the minimum and the liver function is normal, children can be born. However, after children are born, they should be injected with immunoglobulin and vaccine in time.

Second: women with hepatitis C can have children, but because taking medicine after pregnancy has a great impact on the fetus, therefore, we can consider pregnancy after treatment. Like hepatitis B, hepatitis C is an infectious disease. Mother to child transmission is one of the ways of transmission. In addition, it can be transmitted through blood and sex, which is not a genetic disease.

Third: the probability of mother to child transmission of hepatitis C is not high. If HCV RNA is detected to be negative, pregnancy can be considered in a stable state. However, if anti HCV test results are positive, pregnancy and birth can be achieved after hepatitis C is cured, which will be better for the health of mothers and infants.

matters needing attention

No matter the situation of suffering from hepatitis C is good or bad, it is better to wait for treatment before pregnancy. If you are pregnant, you should actively cooperate with the doctor's advice for treatment.
