Does taking cold medicine one week before pregnancy have any effects?

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Could you please tell me if taking cold medicine one week before pregnancy has any effects?

Doctor's answer:

The first three weeks of pregnancy are relatively safe, and the body is not very sensitive to teratogenic factors at this time. The impact during this period is usually either present or absent, meaning the greatest risk is miscarriage, or everything is fine. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects a woman's health but can also lead to the development of gynecological conditions. Therefore, it is best to have a B examination at the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Additionally, pay close attention to personal hygiene and maintain cleanliness in the perineal area.
