Patient's question:
I am currently in the pre-pregnancy period. My friend said that it is necessary to take folic acid. I would like to ask what are the important roles of folic acid for a woman's body? If there is a lack of folic acid, will it lead to fetal stop?Doctor's answer:
Folic acid is very important for women trying to conceive, especially for pregnant women. Therefore, it is necessary to consume folic acid during the first three months of preconception. In the early stages of pregnancy, a lack of folic acid can easily lead to repeated neural development abnormalities in the fetus. Proper consumption of folic acid helps the fetus grow and develop more perfectly. If a lack of folic acid results in fetal developmental abnormalities, it will increase the likelihood of miscarriage.
