Just found out I'm pregnant and have worms in my stool. Can I take medication?

Patient's question:

I found white linear worms twice in the stool. A few days ago, I had diarrhea and loose stools. The second time, I found several worms.

Doctor's answer:

During pregnancy, if you feel there are in your stool, it is recommended to first undergo a routine stool examination to determine if there is an egg infection.
Guidance:
Generally, medication use for pregnant women is very cautious, and over-the-counter deworming drugs are considered contraindicated during pregnancy. There is currently no literature reporting that pumpkin seeds have a deworming effect.
