Can Huai Jiang Gao help with pregnancy?

Patient's question:

I want to get pregnant, and I am currently in the pre-pregnancy phase. My friend told me to drink Huai Jiang Gao, which she said can help me get pregnant. Is that okay?

Doctor's answer:

If your blood sugar is normal and there is no recurrence of pre-pregnancy or post-pregnancy diabetes, this ginger and sugar paste can be consumed. Drinking it five or six times a month has no adverse effects. However, it does contain a relatively high sugar content, so it is not recommended to consume it excessively. During pregnancy, if you are considering giving birth, it is best to avoid this type of sugar paste, as it contains some blood-activating substances. Consuming too much of it may lead to skin breakdown or even miscarriage.
