Question
Should you thoroughly check the herpes report before pregnancy to ensure it won’t affect the fetus? If the rash reappears on the face at 12 weeks of pregnancy, will it affect the fetus?
Answer
Detecting herpes before pregnancy can have some impact on the fetus, but usually, the impact is relatively small. It’s important to undergo prenatal examinations and pay attention to diet, avoiding irritant foods and maintaining a light and balanced diet. At the same time, you can use antiviral ointment to treat localized herpes and avoid scratching to prevent infection.
