How to eliminate styes in pregnant women?

During pregnancy, women should pay special attention to taking care of their bodies and keeping their bodies in a healthy state, which is good for the development of the fetus. However, some pregnant women may develop styes, with red and swollen eyes and pain in the affected area. Styes may recur and can generally be treated with medication. In severe cases, surgery can be used. So how do pregnant women remove styes? How to eliminate styes in pregnant women? Let’s take a look at it next.

1. How to eliminate styes in pregnant women?

Stye is divided into internal stye and external stye, both of which are caused by glandular infection. The treatments mentioned here are different or difficult because of pregnancy. Pregnancy limits the use of some medications, especially antibiotics, which can affect the development and growth of the fetus, so you must be extra careful when handling them. If the redness and swelling of the stye are not serious in the early stage, you only need to apply erythromycin eye ointment inside the eye and apply furazolidone to the eye. Apply hot compress 1-2 times a day and the swelling will sometimes go away. If the above method does not work, and the redness and swelling of the eyelids worsens, and white pus appears, you need to gently cut the white pus to allow the pus to flow out, but do not scrape it off, as it can easily cause sepsis, and then use the above method for treatment. If the redness and swelling are very severe and there is a risk of eyelid cellulitis, some antibiotics should be used, which have very little effect on the fetus or pregnant women. You should consult a gynecologist or pediatrician.

2. What to pay attention to during pregnancy

During pregnancy, the growth and development of the fetus is completely dependent on the mother. Caring about the mother's health means caring about the baby's health. Ensuring that the mother is in an optimal physiological state provides a good growth environment for the fetus. First of all, adjust your mindset and keep a happy mood. For all the discomforts caused by pregnancy, we must realize that this is a normal physiological reaction. If it is not particularly severe, we must have the confidence to persist and tolerate it, avoid excessive anxiety, and never abuse drugs to relieve symptoms. Second, maintain good living habits. Ensure adequate and good rest and sleep; take a shower, but the time should not be too long; do appropriate housework and physical exercise; do not wear high heels, wear loose and comfortable clothes, preferably cotton; pay special attention to breast care, wear a loose and soft bra to protect the nipples. If you have inverted nipples, you should insist on pulling up the nipples several times a day in the late pregnancy to make them bulge, to prepare for postpartum breastfeeding. When milk is secreted in the late pregnancy, keep it clean and dry, and do not squeeze; stay away from radiation, electromagnetic radiation, cats, dogs and other pets, and avoid colds.

3. Reminder

Fully understand your own physiological changes, arrange your diet and daily life reasonably, have regular prenatal examinations, and seek medical treatment at any time if there is any abnormality. Caring for yourself is caring for your child. The first three months is a dangerous period. Be careful not to go to crowded places, don't carry heavy objects, don't wear high heels, it's best not to take the bus, and don't use medicine indiscriminately.
