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 afraid of the cold. May I ask if it's okay to have sex at 2 months pregnant?Doctor's answer:
Hello, generally, sexual activity is not recommended during the first and last three months of pregnancy, as it may increase the risk of miscarriage or premature birth. During the remaining time, sexual activity is allowed, but caution should be exercised regarding intensity and position to avoid abdominal pressure.Your condition may be related to the "Menopausal Shangao Syndrome." The onset of this condition is often linked to the patient's constitutional factors. Shangao refers to insufficient yin in the viscera. With depleted essence and blood, the five viscera lack nourishment, leading to the internal rise of the five emotional fires, which then disturb the heart and mind, causing Shangao.
A modified version of the Ganmai Dazao Decoction can be used for treatment, which may be effective.
