Patient's question:
My wife is 7 months pregnant and recently developed a sty. There's a hard lump under her eyelid. This is her second sty, and the treatment has been quite troublesome, as she can't take medication freely. Why do pregnant women get two styes a year? What should be done?Doctor's answer:
Consider mainly because during pregnancy, the nutritional supplementation of pregnant women themselves is insufficient, lacking in vitamins, and immunity is relatively low. In addition, some pregnant women may experience poor sleep quality and changes in dietary habits after becoming pregnant, which can lead to stomach upset and inflammation, causing hordeolum. It is recommended to first pay attention to the personal nutritional supplementation of pregnant women. If the phenomenon of hordeolum occurs, use some medications that pregnant women can use for treatment under the guidance of a doctor in a timely manner.
