Is it beneficial to eat dried longan when pregnant?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Is there any benefit to eating dried longan when pregnant?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, longan has a warm nature and a sweet taste, and it is very easy to cause internal heat. If pregnant women eat it, it not only increases fetal heat but also easily leads to imbalanced qi flow, causing stomach qi to rise, nausea, and vomiting. Over time, it may damage yin and cause heat symptoms, leading to abdominal pain, spotting, and other preterm labor symptoms, or even miscarriage or premature birth. Therefore, pregnant women should avoid eating longan.
The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects a woman's physical health but can also lead to gynecological conditions. It is best to visit the gynecology department of a hospital for a check-up to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. In daily life, pay attention to dietary adjustments, consuming light and easily digestible foods, while avoiding spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
