Can pregnant women eat glutinous rice porridge?

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and fear the cold. Can I eat rice porridge when pregnant?

Doctor's answer:

It is okay to eat glutinous rice during pregnancy, but it's best to consume it in moderation. Eating too much is not good either. During pregnancy, the digestive system naturally slows down, and eating glutinous rice can make it even harder to digest. If you experience this issue, you should visit a hospital's surgical department for treatment, and the problem can be resolved through surgery. Don't worry, after the surgery, it's recommended to maintain a balanced diet, eat plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits, and pay attention to personal hygiene.
