Patient's question:
Hello!I have a question I'd like to ask. I just got my hair done with a perm and dye on December 23rd, and I want to have a child next month. Will this have any impact? If it does, when would be a better time to do it???
Thank you very much!!! Please answer me quickly! Wishing you a Merry Christmas!!!
Doctor's answer:
During pregnancy, it is best to avoid hair pulling and hair dyeing. Hair dyeing products often contain toxic heavy metals, such as mercury, lead, etc. These substances can be easily absorbed by the scalp and enter the bloodstream. The fetus relies on absorbing nutrients from the mother's blood to maintain normal growth. Therefore, toxic heavy metals can also be absorbed by the fetus through the bloodstream, which may have a certain impact on the development of the fetus. It is also best to avoid hair dyeing and hair coloring during breastfeeding. In this case, it is necessary to strictly perform prenatal examinations. At 14-19 weeks of pregnancy, undergo a Down syndrome screening, and at 22-26 weeks, have a 4D ultrasound for prenatal screening to detect abnormalities. If necessary, at 16-20 weeks, undergo amniocentesis and cord blood analysis to determine the baby's development inside the womb. It is recommended to keep the baby and undergo regular prenatal check-ups. If any abnormalities are found in the baby, the pregnancy should be terminated promptly.
