Patient's question:
My husband is 35 years old. He has been diagnosed with high blood viscosity and high blood pressure. The doctor has prescribed aspirin and roperidone tablets. We want to have a child. Does he need to stop taking the medication? If so, how long should he wait before considering pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Anti-inflammatory drugs are generally metabolized in the body within three to five days. Traditional Chinese medicine takes slightly longer to metabolize. Since it's close to the ovulation period, it's recommended to wait until next month to conceive. It's best to wait until both partners are in optimal condition before planning pregnancy, which means waiting at least one week after taking medication or until your husband's tonsillitis has completely healed for a week before attempting to conceive. Additionally, if your husband smokes or drinks alcohol, for the sake of eugenics, it's necessary to abstain from smoking and drinking for at least three months before planning pregnancy.
