Patient's question:
I just got pregnant not long ago and have been paying close attention at home. But recently, I noticed some bleeding, and the doctor said it's threatened miscarriage. What should I avoid with threatened miscarriage?Doctor's answer:
Early signs of miscarriage should not consume extremely cold or overly greasy foods. This condition is primarily caused by unstable uterine blood vessels and the inability to nourish the fetus due to insufficient blood donation. On the other hand, conditions such as fetal leakage and fetal movement disorders may occur, leading to the instability of the Chong and Ren meridians. This includes deficiencies in qi and blood, kidney deficiency, blood heat, trauma, and other factors. Patients should pay special attention to avoiding foods like coix seed, crabs, rabbit meat, cinnamon, dried ginger, hawthorn, winter melon seeds, water chestnuts, etc. Avoid cold foods such as extremely cold fruits, refrigerated cold drinks, and ice products. Avoid spicy, stimulating, greasy, and damp-heat foods like ginger, onions, garlic, chili peppers, lamb, dog meat, pork, and alcohol.
