Patient's question:
A few months ago, I got infected with Helicobacter pylori. Today, I went for a 13C urea breath test for a follow-up check, which is the breathing test. The results came back negative. I would like to ask the doctor, after undergoing this test, how long should I wait before getting pregnant?Doctor's answer:
According to the description of the situation, after undergoing a carbon-13 test, it is recommended to wait for half a year before trying to conceive for safety. In terms of diet, it is advisable to consume more high-protein, vitamin-rich foods to enhance nutrition. Rest well, avoid fatigue, smoking, and alcohol consumption. Relieve stress, maintain a cheerful mood, engage in appropriate exercise daily to improve physical fitness, pay attention to keeping warm, and avoid catching colds. During the pre-pregnancy period, folic acid can be taken orally.
