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 conservative treatment is ineffective, surgical intervention may be necessary. 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.
