Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? What seafood can pregnant women eat?Doctor's answer:
Pregnant women should eat more seafood, such as kelp, nori, and sea fish, because these seafoods relatively contain high iodine, and pregnant women have a high demand for iodine. If they also have problems like picky eating or selective eating, they are more prone to iodine deficiency. Iodine deficiency in pregnant women can lead to stillbirths, miscarriages, premature birth, and congenital deformities. After birth, the child may suffer from low intelligence, short stature, a dull appearance, and conditions like paralysis, deafness, and mutism (cretinism). To ensure the health of the next generation, supplementing iodine for pregnant women is both necessary and important. Therefore, they should eat more frequently.
