How are HCV-positive women treated?

Question
Hello doctor,
I was infected with HCV in 2017, received treatment after 3 months and tested again for viral quantification 0. However, on October 9, I had a medical examination and test. HCV is positive. So the doctor asked me how to treat HCV-positive women? Should I get pregnant while on HCV treatment? Thank you doctor.

Hello,
With the question “How are HCV-positive women treated? ”, the doctor would like to answer as follows:
If you test positive for HCV, you should arrange a time to do more quantitative tests for HCV-RNA, liver enzymes, abdominal ultrasound,... When you want treatment If you have hepatitis C, you should not become pregnant during treatment because oral medications have a risk of affecting the fetus.
If you still have questions about HCV-positive women, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
