My friend got diagnosed with this during her pregnancy and now im a bit scared reading about it. Im 6 months along. Just wanted to understand how serious this is, planning to ask my doc next visit too.
It's not something to ignore but also not something to panic about. The key is don't buy a deworming tablet from the chemist yourself, timing matters in pregnancy. Show your gynac, get tested and treated properly.
Beta isme experiment mat karo. Hygiene rakho, wash hands and vegetables well, that prevents a lot. But for actual treatment doctor se hi pucho, pregnancy mein medicine ka time matter karta hai.
Please don't self treat this one. Deworming medicines have to be timed carefully in pregnancy, some are not advised in early months. Tell your gynac, she will decide what's safe and when. Don't take any tablet on your own.
Best to get this checked rather than guess. Your doctor will confirm with a test and prescribe a safe option suited to your trimester. Meanwhile maintain good hygiene and wash food well.
My doctor explained that worms can affect your nutrition and iron, which matters when you're pregnant. So it does need treating, but only with a doctor-approved medicine at the right stage. Get a stool test and let her guide you.
