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. Please ask if smoking during pregnancy has an impact.Doctor's answer:
Tobacco contains a large amount of toxic substances, in addition to the well-known nicotine, there are also hydrogen cyanide, ammonia, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, pyridine, aromatic compounds, and tar, etc. These toxic substances can be absorbed into the mother's bloodstream through smoke, reducing the oxygen content in the mother's blood and also reducing the oxygen content in the placenta. Due to oxygen deprivation, the fetus may experience delayed growth and development. Smoking during pregnancy can increase the incidence of congenital malformations in the fetus.
