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 fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Could raising cats or dogs before pregnancy cause birth defects in babies?Doctor's answer:
Hello, before pregnancy, it's important to avoid contact with pets like cats and dogs. After all, pets carry a large number of pathogens and parasites. Especially toxoplasmosis, which is inevitable in cats. It's necessary to take protective measures. Consider if the joint pain is caused by arthritis. Oral medications like Fengteng Pian or Shujin Wan can be used for treatment. Additionally, if it's convenient, you can also consult a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner for herbal treatment, which is very effective. Actively treat the symptoms, and it will gradually improve. Wishing you good health.
