Can pregnant women eat watercress

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. Can pregnant women eat water spinach?

Doctor's answer:

Hello! Ageratum, also known as smooth belly vegetable, loquat, or western vegetable. It is cold and slippery in nature, and has the potential to cause cooling blood and slippery effects. As the "Nanning City Herbal" warns: pregnant women should avoid it. Especially in the early stages of pregnancy and for those with habitual abortion (known as "slippery womb" in traditional Chinese medicine), it is even more important to avoid it. Thank you for your consultation. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects women's lives but can also lead to the development of gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to go to the gynecology department of the hospital for a vaginal examination, identify the cause, and then treat accordingly. Pay attention to dietary regulation in daily life, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
