What are the effects of applying patches during pregnancy on the baby?

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Could you please tell me if using topical patches during pregnancy has any impact on the baby?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, generally, an early pregnancy test can be done around day 35 of a missed period, or a blood HCG test can be taken 10 days after intercourse to confirm pregnancy. After becoming pregnant, it is important to rest and maintain good nutrition, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Regular prenatal check-ups, such as ultrasound for fetal anomaly screening and Down syndrome screening, should be performed. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects a woman's life but can also lead to the development of gynecological conditions. Therefore, it is best to visit the gynecology department of a hospital for a check-up, identify the cause, and receive targeted treatment. Additionally, pay attention to personal hygiene and keep the vaginal area clean.
