What vegetables should pregnant women avoid eating?

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. Could you please tell me which vegetables pregnant women should avoid?

Doctor's answer:

Pregnant women consuming hot spices (such as fennel, star anise, Sichuan pepper, pepper, cinnamon, five-spice powder, chili powder, etc.) can easily deplete intestinal moisture, reduce gastric gland secretion, leading to intestinal dryness, constipation, or fecal obstruction. As long as you do not undergo a gynecological examination, it will not be affected. Do not worry too much. Relax your mind and do not have too many concerns and mental pressures.
Before a physical examination, you must fast. Do not eat or drink anything and maintain a calm mood. Get plenty of rest early.
