Herpes simplex virus infection is a common infection in humans. If a pregnant woman is infected with the herpes simplex virus, it can be transmitted to the fetus through the placenta, or to the newborn during delivery. After the fetus is infected, congenital malformations, mental retardation, and even miscarriage may occur. Infection of newborns can damage internal organs and even lead to circulatory failure and systemic poisoning.
Blocking method:
(1) Suggestion Women who plan to become pregnant must do a herpes simplex virus serology test before pregnancy to avoid getting pregnant during herpes simplex virus infection.
(2) Currently, the herpes simplex virus vaccine is still under development. If you are infected with the herpes simplex virus, symptomatic treatment can be given to relieve symptoms.
(3) For women with primary infection, when preparing for pregnancy, the symptoms should be eliminated for a period of time before considering pregnancy.
(4) Pregnant women should stay away from patients infected with herpes simplex virus.
(5) If the infection occurs before delivery, a cesarean section may be considered to prevent transmission to the newborn.
