What is the impact when taking traditional Chinese medicine while pregnant?

Patient's question:

I was taking traditional Chinese medicine when my wife got pregnant. I have prostatitis. Will it affect the baby? I asked the doctor who was treating me, and he said there would be no effect from taking traditional Chinese medicine! But I still don't feel at ease.

Doctor's answer:

This is about taking Chinese herbal medicine without knowing pregnancy. If the time of medication was within two weeks of conception and there was no miscarriage, it means the medication did not affect the embryo. When was the last menstrual period of your partner, the menstrual cycle, and the time of medication? If it was not more than two weeks after conception and there was no miscarriage, it means the embryo was not affected by the medication.
