Question
Can hand, foot, and mouth disease be transmitted to pregnant women?
Answer
Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease is mainly transmitted through respiratory routes. If pregnant women have close contact with infected individuals, the possibility of infection cannot be ruled out. It is recommended to undergo antiviral treatment and boost immunity. Adults usually have stronger resistance and are less likely to contract Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease, so there is no need to worry too much. During pregnancy, attention should be paid to nutritional intake and regular prenatal check-ups should be maintained.
