Patient's question:
I have been pregnant for two months. Recently, I've been feeling some discomfort in my stomach, so I went to the hospital to see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor. The doctor took my pulse and said I had a miscarriage. I'm a bit unsure about it. Hello, does traditional Chinese medicine's pulse-taking method have a scientific basis for diagnosing miscarriage?Doctor's answer:
The doctors in the Traditional Chinese Medicine department take pulse to reflect the different health conditions of each person based on their unique physical constitutions, as the degree of pulse's lightness, heaviness, slowness, and rapidness varies. This practice is scientifically grounded. You can also have a thorough examination with a gynecologist at the hospital and conduct a urine pregnancy test for further confirmation. First and foremost, it is important to focus on regulating your body, avoiding excessive exercise, maintaining a regular diet, preventing emotional shocks, depression, and situations of anxiety or anger.
