Patient's question:
Hello, I am a person with facial paralysis and am 8 months pregnant. I have had facial paralysis for half a month. What should I do in my situation?Doctor's answer:
If you have facial paralysis, it is essential to seek medical treatment as early as possible. Pregnancy is not affected by it, so you need to seize the opportunity to undergo treatment. The sooner facial paralysis is treated with acupuncture and other therapies after onset, the better the outcome. If more than a month has passed, the effectiveness of treatment may be reduced. Acupuncture treatment combined with infrared therapy, ginger poultices, etc., yields better results and should be initiated as early as possible, especially during the postpartum period, without any concerns.
