Patient's question:
I've been pregnant for over two months, but I saw some blood yesterday afternoon. My home is very far from a big hospital, and no one is available to accompany me. There's a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner near the entrance of our residential area.Hello, can a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner take your pulse to determine if there's a miscarriage? If there's a possibility of this happening, I still want to try to save the baby and carry it to term.
Doctor's answer:
If an experienced Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner takes a pulse, there are times when they may also misinterpret the pulse, but this comes with a certain probability of error. Whether it is a miscarriage or not, it is necessary to consider visiting a hospital for a comprehensive and thorough examination to confirm the diagnosis. Therefore, it is advisable to visit the gynecology department for a follow-up examination. Through careful blood hCG testing and ultrasound examination, a comprehensive analysis should be conducted, followed by targeted symptomatic treatment.
