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. Can I soak in a hot spring during the early stages of pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, pregnant women are also better not to soak, especially in the early and late stages of pregnancy. Because in the early stages, the embryo is growing, if soaking in a hot spring for a long time may lead to problems in the fetus's protein production or metabolism, which may affect the fetus's growth and development, leading to malformations or fetal death in utero. And in the late stages of pregnancy, it can easily trigger uterine contractions or water breaking, leading to premature labor.
