Can pregnant women use pain relief patches?

Patient's question:

Can pregnant women use pain relief patches? Because I fell before I was pregnant, and it didn't hurt later, but now that I'm pregnant, it hurts terribly, in my buttocks. I want to ask if I can use pain relief patches?

Doctor's answer:

According to the long-term principle, the external use of Yunnan Baiyao adhesive bandage has little impact on pregnant women (but I also don't recommend you use it). Based on the question you've raised, you should have already used it, so you don't need to worry too much. I think if you're worried about this, the impact of your mindset on the baby might be even greater than the adhesive bandage itself. To sum it up, there's not much impact, but it's absolutely forbidden to take it orally and to use high doses of spray.
