Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Can I eat Danggui slices during breastfeeding?Doctor's answer:
Donggui is blood-activating, so pregnant women should avoid it, especially in the early stages of pregnancy. Women in early pregnancy who consume it may experience uterine contractions and vaginal bleeding. Therefore, donggui is primarily suitable for patients with menstrual irregularities such as oligomenorrhea, delayed menstruation, amenorrhea, and dysmenorrhea. However, it should be avoided by women in the early stages of pregnancy, those with excessive menstrual bleeding, functional uterine bleeding, and those with incomplete postpartum lochia. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects a woman's physical health but can also lead to the development of gynecological conditions. Therefore, it is best to undergo an ultrasound examination in the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the underlying cause and receive targeted treatment. Additionally, it is important to pay attention to personal hygiene and maintain cleanliness in the perineal area.
