Patient's question:
I went to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said I have pelvic inflammatory disease and prescribed medication for me to take. There's also vitamin E capsules. My last menstrual period was on the 3rd of last month, and I haven't had one this month. A pregnancy test showed I'm pregnant. I'm not sure what the effect is on pregnancy. I've finished taking all the other medications. Can I still continue taking the vitamin E capsules, and how should I take them daily? Thank you!What kind of help I need: I hope to get the best advice from a doctor.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is possible. Simple pregnancy maintenance treatment is not effective for cases with a history of spontaneous abortion. In this situation, it is necessary to conduct comprehensive pre-pregnancy tests to identify the cause and treat it before trying to conceive again. Otherwise, it is very easy to experience another miscarriage. Since you are already pregnant now, pay attention to the condition of the fetus. If there is bleeding or abdominal pain, go to the hospital for examination and treatment in a timely manner. Based on your description of your situation, you are already pregnant, and it is acceptable to take vitamin E during pregnancy. Vitamin E has the effect of protecting the ovaries and preventing miscarriage. As for progesterone, if your progesterone level is within the normal range, you do not need to take it.
