Patient's question:
I've been pregnant for over three months, and I feel a bit of pain in my stomach. I wonder if I might have ingested talcum powder. Does talcum powder cause miscarriage in pregnant women?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, after being pregnant for three or four months, the risk of miscarriage has passed, and it should not occur again. However, if exposed to external trauma or improper diet, unexpected issues may still arise. Currently, you feel some pain, so it is necessary to visit a hospital for a check-up to determine whether the pain is caused by gynecological inflammation or developmental issues. It is essential to find out the exact cause. If the miscarriage was caused by consuming talcum powder, it is important to note that under normal circumstances, we are unlikely to come into contact with talcum powder.
