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 also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. How long should I wait after stopping long-term medication?Doctor's answer:
From your description, recurrent urinary tract infections are considered to be caused by heat in the bladder in traditional Chinese medicine. Only by removing the internal heat can urinary tract infections be completely eliminated and recurrence prevented. You can take the traditional Chinese medicine formula Daochi San. Medications for treating urinary tract infections generally need to be stopped for 3-6 months before planning to have a child, otherwise it may lead to fetal malformations. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects the patient's health but can also lead to the development of gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have a B examination in the gynecology department of the hospital to identify the cause and then receive symptomatic treatment. Pay attention to personal hygiene and keep the vulvar skin clean.
