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. How should I handle digestive problems during pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Based on the symptoms you described, it is considered to be caused by indigestion, mainly characterized by increased bowel movements and sometimes visible undigested substances in the stool. It is recommended to take Jianwei Xiaoshi Pian (Stomach Soothing and Food Digesting Tablets) and probiotics for treatment, which is usually effective. In case of necessity, intravenous fluids may be used for treatment. It could also be caused by anemia, and you should go to the hospital for blood tests such as a complete blood count. Medications such as ferrous sulfate tablets, folic acid tablets, and Ejiao Nang (Donkey-hide Glue Extract) should be taken orally. It is important to strengthen nutrition and avoid picky eating. Drinking bone broth is recommended. Avoid spicy, alcoholic, and other irritating foods.
