Patient's question:
I previously took weight-loss medication, but I wasn't sure about its ingredients. It's not suitable for breastfeeding mothers or children. They told me it was best to stop taking the medication for a year before having a child, but I forgot. Now, I've already started trying to conceive, and I've been off the weight-loss medication for nearly two months. Will this have an impact? Could it cause birth defects?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, are you currently trying to conceive and have become pregnant? If not, it's recommended to wait a bit longer before trying to conceive. If you have become pregnant, you'll have to undergo irregular prenatal check-ups to monitor the child's growth and development.Based on your description, are you currently trying to conceive and have become pregnant?
