Five months pregnant and found roundworms, what should I do?

Patient's question:

I'm almost five months pregnant and found worms in my stomach. Last night while having a bowel movement, one came out.

Doctor's answer:

Generally, conservative therapy is the primary approach, and the majority of cases can be alleviated. If it cannot be relieved, surgery may be the only option. Parasite medications have varying degrees of toxicity and side effects, so deworming is not recommended during pregnancy. Any treatment should be discussed with a gynecologist. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects a woman's physical health but can also lead to the development of gynecological conditions. Therefore, it is best to visit the gynecology department of a hospital for a routine examination, identify the cause, and then receive targeted treatment. Pay attention to dietary adjustments, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
