Patient's question:
During pregnancy, it's always particularly uncomfortable, and morning sickness is also very severe. I wonder if frequently taking diuretics during pregnancy can lead to Down syndrome in the fetus.Doctor's answer:
General medications can potentially cause fetal malformations or miscarriages. However, this varies from person to person. It is recommended not to worry too much and to undergo regular prenatal check-ups during pregnancy. From the first 36 weeks, have a check-up every 4 weeks, and from the 36th week onwards, have one every week. If necessary, you can undergo an amniocentesis. It is advised to pay attention to nutrition during pregnancy. From the first 3 months, supplement with folic acid, and from the 4th month, start taking calcium, iron, and other trace elements needed by the body.
