Patient's question:
Urgent question! Still having issues trying to get pregnant! After selecting the best answer, will the expert see the follow-up question? Here's my question: My last period was on October 13th, and I didn't get my next period until December 3rd (my usual cycle is about 26 days, and this has never happened before). Also, this time when I got my period, I didn't experience the usual symptoms like breast tenderness; instead, I felt my breasts were smaller and softer. During the time I wasn't bleeding, I was anxious, and the doctor recommended an endocrine test, the results of which I'll get next week. Question: Do I need to go to the hospital again? I'm 34 and now want to have a child. What should I and my husband pay attention to next? How long should he avoid smoking and drinking before trying to conceive? During the preparation period, can I drink a small amount of dry red wine? Is it okay to have just a sip of alcohol?Doctor's answer:
Hello: You also need to go to the hospital for a check-up and wait for 3-7 days after your menstrual period is clean.1. Avoid pregnancy during the illness period or shortly after recovery from a serious illness.
2. Avoid pregnancy in the "first month of marriage" (i.e., avoid getting pregnant in the month of getting married).
3. Avoid pregnancy during a honeymoon trip.
4. Avoid pregnancy when both partners are of advanced age. The proportion of chromosomal abnormalities leading to malformed fetuses in women over 35 years old is increasing year by year. The optimal age for childbirth for women is 24-30 years old.
5. Avoid pregnancy before exposure to radiation or highly toxic substances. Generally, pregnancy should be avoided four weeks after X-ray exposure. If there is repeated exposure to highly toxic pesticides and chemicals, pregnancy should be avoided one month after stopping exposure to prevent fetal malformation.
6. Avoid smoking and drinking alcohol. Smoking and drinking should be stopped for 2-3 months before pregnancy. The husband should also avoid smoking and drinking one month before his wife becomes pregnant.
7. Avoid pregnancy immediately after childbirth or miscarriage. Pregnancy should be avoided for at least six months.
8. Avoid pregnancy while taking medication. Oral contraceptives should generally be stopped for six months before pregnancy. If long-term medication with a certain drug is taken, consult a doctor to determine the impact on pregnancy.
9. Avoid pregnancy during periods of emotional depression.
10. Avoid pregnancy within three months after receiving the rubella vaccine.
