Patient's question:
Here is the English translation of the provided text:The situation is this, my wife is four months pregnant. A couple of days ago, she accidentally caught a cold. It is said that pregnant women should not take cold medicine during pregnancy, as it is not good for the child's growth and development. So, I wanted to try cupping therapy to treat the cold. I would like to ask, does cupping during pregnancy cause miscarriage?
(Note: The line breaks "\n" are preserved as they are in the original text.)
Doctor's answer:
Pregnant women are very likely to suffer from miscarriage due to cupping, so cupping should not be performed during pregnancy. If you only have a mild cold, it is recommended to drink more plain water to reduce swelling. If you have a severe cold, it is advisable to visit a gynecologist for a check-up, have a blood test to check for inflammation, and then take medication under the guidance of a doctor. During pregnancy, it is important to get adequate rest and ensure a balanced diet.
