Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Is it true that squatting during pregnancy can compress the fetus?Doctor's answer:
This is hard to say. Generally, constipation during pregnancy should be treated promptly. Sometimes, straining during bowel movements can stimulate the uterus, which may lead to premature labor. Therefore, it's advisable to drink more water, eat more fruits and vegetables, and consume some honey water appropriately. If the symptoms are caused by damp-heat accumulation, traditional Chinese medicine Longdan Xiegan Wan can be used for regulation. A diet that is easy to digest and absorb, along with increased nutritional supplementation of vitamins and trace elements, should be followed. Avoid harmful stimuli.
