Patient's question:
I have irregular periods and want to take traditional Chinese medicine to regulate them. However, many people say that taking traditional Chinese medicine for regulation can lead to having a boy. Is this true or false? I don't want a boy because we already have one at home. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
The gender of the fetus is determined by the sex chromosomes of the male's sperm and has nothing to do with the female. Therefore, medications or measures taken by the female cannot interfere with the gender of the fetus. Since traditional Chinese medicine has minimal side effects and does not interfere with subsequent pregnancies or menstrual irregularities, it can be used to comprehensively evaluate and nourish the body. However, it will never interfere with the gender of a future fetus. Gynecological diseases are common conditions that can easily occur. During medication, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients avoid sexual activity during treatment and pay close attention to cleanliness.
