When taking traditional Chinese medicine to treat pelvic inflammatory disease, if you become pregnant, can the child be kept?

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'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. I'm asking if it's okay to get pregnant while undergoing traditional Chinese medicine treatment for pelvic inflammatory disease.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, medication use in early pregnancy may have some impact on the fetus. It is recommended to take good care of prenatal and postnatal health and closely monitor the development of the fetus. The Down syndrome screening should be done between weeks 15-20 of pregnancy, and the 3D color Doppler ultrasound for fetal anomaly screening should be performed between weeks 22-26.
The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects a woman's physical health but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have a leukorrhea test at the gynecology department of the hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Pay attention to dietary regulation, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, irritating, and cold foods.
