Patient's question:
Doctor: Hello!I would like to ask, can the gender of the child be determined artificially? Because I heard from others that there is a folk remedy that claims to ensure a boy if you take several sets of traditional Chinese medicine according to the instructions. It's said to be quite effective, but I don't know if it's true.
Doctor's answer:
Gender determination is the result of genetic complementary pairing, which is related to genes. No one can decide whether they will have a boy or a girl, so don't waste time on this. Artificial insemination cannot determine if it will be a boy or a girl. It is determined by the moment the sperm and egg meet. If the egg and sperm carry an X chromosome, then it will be a girl. If the egg and sperm combine with a Y chromosome, then it will be a boy. However, X chromosomes and Y chromosomes cannot be distinguished during artificial insemination.
