Is it okay to take folic acid immediately after getting pregnant?

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'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. May I ask if it's okay to start taking folic acid immediately after getting pregnant?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, you should start taking folic acid tablets when you are newly pregnant or before pregnancy. This helps prevent potential neurological diseases in the child, such as spina bifida. You can take Silian folic acid tablets, one per day, and wish you a safe motherhood.
Generally, it takes 3-6 months. Timely follow-up and medical check-ups at the hospital are recommended. The specific examination items and treatment methods should follow the doctor's advice. It is recommended to maintain a balanced diet, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, drink plenty of water, avoid spicy foods, get adequate rest, supplement multiple vitamins to enhance immunity, and recover early.
