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. I'm asking if it's safe to carry the pregnancy to term after taking anti-inflammatory medication three weeks into the pregnancy.Doctor's answer:
Hello, taking medication during the early stages of pregnancy may potentially cause issues such as fetal malformation, although it is not guaranteed—it is only a possibility. However, it depends on the specific medication used. The drug in question cannot be ruled out as having an impact on the fetus, but currently, it is not possible to determine the extent of this effect. It is related to multiple factors, including the timing and dosage of medication, as well as the sensitivity of the pregnant woman and fetus to the drug. If you choose to continue the pregnancy, it is important to undergo regular prenatal check-ups.
