Patient's question:
In the early stages of pregnancy, I got hemorrhoids and wasn't allowed to take any medication. My friend told me that I could apply a little erythromycin ointment. Because I was really uncomfortable, I used erythromycin ointment many times. Will it have any effect on the fetus? What kind of help do you care about: Does using erythromycin during pregnancy affect the child?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, because erythromycin ointment has no effect on the fetus due to hemorrhoids, generally speaking, topical medications are rarely absorbed, and only local absorption exceeds the therapeutic effect, which is not a big deal. There is no need to worry, rest more, eat more vegetables and fruits, and prevent constipation. The above is the advice for the question "Does using erythromycin during pregnancy affect the child?" I hope it helps you, and wish you health!
