Patient's question:
I have been pregnant for 2 months. Before I knew I was pregnant, I was taking some Chinese herbal medicines related to skin. The dermatologist I saw said the herbal medicine had nothing to do with it. I don't know if it's okay, and I want to ask for some advice?Doctor's answer:
Taking medication in the early stages of pregnancy can have some effects on the fetus, and the extent of the impact also depends greatly on the specific medication taken. Generally, traditional Chinese medicine has fewer side effects. You can ask the doctor who prescribed the traditional Chinese medicine for you to wait until the fetus is two or three months old to have a prenatal examination to determine the condition of the fetus. If there are no abnormalities, you can continue the pregnancy. It is recommended that you take good prenatal care, have regular prenatal check-ups. Closely monitor the development of the fetus, and seek medical attention promptly if there are any abnormalities.
