Doctor's answer:
No need to worry if you don't take it directly, and after conception, avoid taking sulfonamide drugs in the first three months.

At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a professional hospital for diagnosis and treatment, so that they can achieve good therapeutic effects.
