Patient's question:
I started taking vitamin A acid capsules at the beginning of 2004 and am now planning to have a child. The doctor said it needs to be 2 years. I don't know how long after taking vitamin A acid capsules I can have a child?First follow-up question: I should have taken the vitamin A acid capsules at the beginning of 2005. The doctor said at least 2 years are needed. After searching online, I found some say 6 months, 1 year, others say 2-3 years, and some even say 5 years. We plan to have a child this year. So, how many years should it take to ensure safety?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, vitamin A acid capsules can cause spontaneous abortion and fetal development malformations. If you have taken them, it's best to wait for about half a year before getting pregnant. You can take folic acid during preconception, avoid taking random medications, and pay attention to physical health care. You can arrange sexual activity during ovulation, place a pillow under your waist during intercourse, and lie down for 30 minutes after ejaculation. Wishing you health and happiness!
