Patient's question:
I got married to my husband for a year and still couldn't get pregnant. I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said it was due to irregular periods in the past that caused this. What should I do about irregular periods and not being able to get pregnant? How should I take care of myself?Doctor's answer:
If this situation occurs again, it is important to regulate the menstrual cycle first, as only with a normal menstrual cycle can a healthy body be maintained and pregnancy be achieved. It is recommended to consult a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner for regulation, as it is best to avoid Western medicine because the drugs may have some side effects. Additionally, during the menstrual period, it is advisable not to eat extremely cold, hot, or acidic stimulating foods, and to drink plenty of warm beverages while maintaining regular bowel movements. People with blood heat should eat more fresh fruits and vegetables before their period and avoid consuming onions, garlic, chives, and ginger. Those with insufficient qi and blood should enhance their nutrition on a daily basis.
