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 coldness. May I ask if it's okay to use baking soda to wash the external genital area when just pregnant?Doctor's answer:
Hello, you can use baking soda to rinse the external genital area during the early stages of pregnancy, which generally does not affect the health of the fetus. If there is inflammation, pay attention to personal hygiene.During the postpartum period, it is best not to drink cold tea. During this time, to aid your body's recovery and your baby's healthy growth, you need to consume sufficient high-quality protein. Foods rich in high-quality protein include fish, poultry, red meat, dairy products, and soy products, among others. Additionally, it is recommended to eat more grains, fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as foods rich in calcium and iron.
