I'm currently dealing with herpes zoster, and we were planning to try for a baby. Is it generally advisable to try for pregnancy when one has herpes zoster?
Haan na, shingles me itna pain aur weakness hoti hai, why take a risk right now? Let your body recover fully first. Ask your doctor once she treats your shingles, then you can plan comfortably.
It is much better to let your body heal completely from shingles first! Your health is super important for a happy pregnancy. Consult your gynac once before you start planning, and till then, get lots of rest and eat healthy! 🌸
I had some severe complications during my pregnancy, so I always advise being extra cautious. Shingles is a serious viral infection and the fever or nerve pain can affect your system. Please do not try to conceive until your doctor confirms that the virus is completely dormant and you are off all medications.
Since your body is dealing with the herpes zoster virus, it is undergoing a lot of stress right now. Please wait until you are fully recovered and the virus is cleared from your system. I strongly suggest discussing this with your doctor so they can advise you on when it is safest to start trying.
Managing a pregnancy with active shingles is going to be extremely exhausting and potentially risky. The medications used for herpes zoster need to be cleared by a doctor before you conceive. Get treated first, take a clearance certificate from your doctor, and then start trying.
With any active viral infection, your immune system is compromised. During this time, you might also need antiviral medications which may not be safe for early pregnancy. Focus on your recovery first, eat immune-boosting home food, and plan after your doctor gives the go-ahead.
