Can you take maternity leave for biochemical pregnancy?

Patient's question:

Last week when I went to the hospital for a prenatal check-up, the doctor told me I had a biochemical pregnancy. Hello, I am very worried about early pregnancy and would like to know if I can request a short maternity leave?

Doctor's answer:

Biochemical pregnancy refers to a situation where there is a fertilized egg but no implantation. This is equivalent to having a normal menstrual period and generally does not require a small abortion leave. During the bleeding period, it is important to avoid strenuous exercise and refrain from eating cold, spicy, or irritating foods. If the bleeding lasts for a long time or the amount of blood is excessive, leading to anemia, the doctor will assess the situation and determine the need for rest and additional leave. The above information can be used as a reference.
