Patient's question:
Does taking Chinese herbal medicine during ovulation affect the eggs?Doctor's answer:
Medication used during ovulation can affect menopause, but if pregnancy occurs, it has no significant interference on the fetus. The medication has minimal impact on the quality of the eggs. Unless it is a drug that severely affects the quality of the eggs, to the extent that it impacts the development of the embryo, such medication should be discontinued during pregnancy and breastfeeding. There are no specific regulations regarding its use before pregnancy, and typically, the interference on the fetus occurs through transmission via the placenta. During ovulation, there is no interference.
