Patient's question:
A 44-year-old woman has been feeling very tired for a while. After checking into the hospital, she found out she was sick. She asks: Can a pregnant woman have sex? What will happen if she does?Doctor's answer:
During early pregnancy (within the first 3 months) and late pregnancy (after the 7th month), refraining from sexual activity is recommended to prevent miscarriage and preterm birth. Since the condition has already developed, it is no longer about prevention but treatment. Medication use during pregnancy is limited as it may affect the fetal growth and development. Therefore, for the baby's health, it is best to avoid it as much as possible. Do not feel any psychological pressure and maintain a cheerful mood. Additionally, pay attention to getting plenty of rest during this period, and maintain a light diet, avoiding greasy and spicy foods. This will benefit both you and the fetus in your womb.
