Patient's question:
Hello, I am currently 34 weeks pregnant and really enjoy eating longans. However, I've heard that pregnant women should not eat longans or angelica. I would like to ask if this is true? Additionally, I often experience severe lower back pain and abnormal vaginal discharge. Is this a sign of a condition? How can I determine and address this? I urgently look forward to your reply!!Doctor's answer:
This is not something that can be eaten lychees, as it can easily cause miscarriage. Pregnant women should improve their diet and eat foods rich in iron. In animal foods, liver, blood tofu, and meat have high levels of iron and are well absorbed. Egg yolks also contain iron, while vegetables have lower levels of iron and are poorly absorbed. However, fresh green vegetables are rich in folic acid, which participates in the production of red blood cells. A lack of folic acid can cause macrocytic anemia and can also lead to mixed anemia. Therefore, the diet should include a certain amount of meat, liver, and blood tofu, as well as fresh vegetables. Liver is not only rich in iron and vitamin A but also contains a relatively high amount of folic acid. Vitamin A also helps in the absorption and utilization of iron. Eating liver once a week is very beneficial for preventing anemia.
