Patient's question:
I had my last menstrual period on February 15th, and on March 21st, I took a pregnancy test which showed positive. At the same time, I discovered that I have shingles on the right side of my body. I have no internal medication and am currently using traditional Chinese medicine for topical application. I would like to know if this will affect the fetus and whether it is safe to continue the pregnancy. Thank you!Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is caused by infection. It is recommended to treat with acyclovir. You need to go to the hospital for examination and cooperate with the gynecologist for treatment. If it is normal, you can continue pregnancy and increase nutrition supplements with vitamins and trace elements.
