Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Is it good to eat too much folic acid?Doctor's answer:
Folic acid is a water-soluble B vitamin, and pregnant women's demand for folic acid is four times higher than that of normal people. The early stages of pregnancy are a critical period for the differentiation of fetal organ systems and the formation of the placenta, with rapid cell growth and division. Folic acid deficiency at this time can lead to fetal malformations. Generally, folic acid supplements can be discontinued three months after pregnancy. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects a woman's body but can also lead to the development of gynecological conditions. Therefore, it is best to undergo an ultrasound examination at the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Additionally, it is important to pay attention to personal hygiene and maintain the cleanliness of the vulvar skin.
