Patient's question:
I am currently 24 weeks pregnant and I want to know if my immunity strengthens or weakens during pregnancy.Doctor's answer:
A slight increase in the body's resistance after pregnancy. This condition is based on individual constitution as well as dietary and nutritional choices after pregnancy. Generally, due to the increase in dietary nutrition after pregnancy, the body's resistance is significantly improved. Immediately after childbirth, due to the delivery of the fetus, the body's qi and blood will be insufficient, which may cause the body's resistance to temporarily rise. During this period, it is recommended to eat more protein-rich foods, which can enhance the body's resistance.
