Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. Could you please tell me the correct way to take folic acid?Doctor's answer:
Generally, it is recommended to take one tablet per day for the three months before pregnancy and until the third month of pregnancy. Each folic acid tablet contains 0.4 milligrams, and it is sufficient to take one tablet 30 minutes after a meal each day to prevent neural tube defects in the fetus. During the early stages of pregnancy, the baby's neural tube is developing, and many birth defects are formed at this time, so it is absolutely beneficial now.
