Patients with Hepatitis B virus (HBV) must pay attention to 3 things when having an abortion

Things to note when having an abortion for patients with hepatitis B virus

1. For patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV), abortion should be performed during the stable period of the disease. If the patient is undergoing antiviral treatment for HBV, it is best to go to a large professional liver disease hospital and perform the abortion under the guidance of a doctor. In addition, when patients undergo abortion, medical staff and family members should take preventive measures to avoid contact with blood containing HBV and hepatitis B infection.

2. It is best not to use medical abortion when having hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, as these drugs need to be metabolized in the liver. This will increase the burden on the liver and worsen the condition for hepatitis B patients who already have liver damage, so this requires attention.

3. Patients with Hepatitis B virus (HBV) should refrain from sexual intercourse before undergoing an abortion to prevent foreign objects in the vagina, which may lead to intrauterine infection during the operation. After the abortion, patients should refrain from sexual intercourse and bathing for at least 2 weeks to prevent infection.
