Patient's question:
Wanting a boy but not being able to conceive for an unknown reason, feeling that everything is normal, have seen a doctor, and been told to take Chinese medicine, but it hasn't helped. How can I achieve my wish?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Although fetal gender is determined by male sex chromosomes, the gender of the baby may be related to the mother's dietary habits before pregnancy. If a woman eats more bananas and foods rich in potassium, calcium, vitamin C, and other nutrients before pregnancy, and also consumes more alkaline foods, the chances of giving birth to a boy may be higher. Specific dietary habits may lead to higher glucose levels in the pregnant woman, which might be more favorable for the survival of sperm carrying the Y chromosome. This is because such foods can balance the body's acid-base level, making the body more alkaline and increasing the opportunity for Y sperm to successfully fertilize and combine with the egg.
