A member asked:
Can having pinworms affect pregnancy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pinworms : For any type of infection or infestation please consult your doctor who is following her pregnancy. Pinworms usually do not affect the health of the pregnancy but the treatment for a pregnant woman with oral medication is only in the case of severe symptoms of itching and irritation around the anus. The suggested medicine is Pyrantel pamoate instead of mebendazole which is used in nonpregnant pts
