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. Can I drink red wine during my period?Doctor's answer:
Red wine promotes blood circulation and removes blood stasis, which may lead to excessive bleeding. It is recommended that you stop using it. During your menstrual period, it is also not advisable to take sit baths or tub baths, and vaginal medication is strictly prohibited. This is because, during menstruation, the hormonal levels in the body decrease, leading to a weakened immune system. Additionally, the vaginal acidity is diluted by menstrual flow, which may promote the growth and reproduction of bacteria.In the second trimester of pregnancy, bleeding is primarily caused by low placental position, followed by threatened miscarriage, and thirdly, cervical erosion. Since the ultrasound shows that the placenta is attached to the anterior wall, the possibility of a low placental position can be ruled out. The vaginal bleeding is likely due to threatened miscarriage or cervical erosion. It is recommended to rest in bed, take oral medication for fetal preservation and hemostasis, maintain good hygiene of the external genitalia, and gradually recover. Avoid sexual activity.
