Patient's question:
Can you eat folic acid tablets after pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Folic acid is very important for women of childbearing age and pregnant women. Pregnant women with folic acid deficiency have a 5 times higher incidence of teratogenicity compared to those without folic acid deficiency. A lack of folic acid in the early stages of pregnancy can cause neural tube defects in the fetus. Calcium supplementation should begin after the fourth month of pregnancy. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects the health of patients but also leads to the development of gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have a vaginal examination in the gynecology department of the hospital to identify the cause and provide symptomatic treatment. Pay attention to personal hygiene and keep the perineal skin clean.
