A member asked:

Is hepatitis b treatable during pregnancy? does it go away on its own? what is the difference between hepatitis b and jaundice?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Treatable: Hepatitis B is treatable and can go away on it's own.However,it is serious,can be transmitted to the baby,and can cause liver damage and increase the risk of liver cancer.A gastroenterologist and a maternal fetal medicine specialist should be helping to manage the hepatitis and the pregnancy.Hepatitis is one of the causes of jaundice which is the yellow color to skin and eyes due to high bilirubin
