Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Could you please tell me if taking Ejiao () is harmful during pre-pregnancy or pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is acceptable to take Ejiao (a traditional Chinese medicine) for blood nourishment before pregnancy. However, you should not take it after becoming pregnant because Ejiao has a strong blood-activating effect, which may lead to miscarriage during pregnancy. It is best to stop taking Ejiao before trying to conceive. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects a woman's body but can also lead to the development of such conditions. Therefore, it is advisable to visit a gynecologist at a hospital for a leukorrhea test to identify the underlying cause and receive appropriate treatment. Additionally, you should drink more water and pay attention to personal hygiene.
