Patient's question:
I am 46 days pregnant and would like to consult the doctor if drinking beer can cause miscarriage. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
It is indeed not advisable to drink alcohol during pregnancy, especially in the early stages. Excessive alcohol consumption is highly detrimental to the fetal growth and development, making it more likely to result in intellectual issues and deformities. However, there is no evidence to suggest it increases the risk of miscarriage. Of course, if only a very small amount is consumed, it may not be a significant problem, but it should not be repeated in the future. Additionally, it is important to undergo regular prenatal check-ups and monitor the baby's growth and development closely.
