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. How should pregnant women supplement folic acid, and how much should they take?Doctor's answer:
During the 3 to 6 weeks after the start of pregnancy, it is the critical period for the central nervous system development of the embryo and is most susceptible to teratogenic factors. To prevent potential risks, women planning to become pregnant should start taking 0.4 milligrams of folic acid daily one month before conception and continue until the third month of pregnancy, which can reduce the incidence of neural tube defects by 70%.Vaginal bleeding is a common symptom of gynecological diseases. The bleeding can come from the vulva, vagina, cervix, or endometrium, but it is most commonly from the uterus. It is recommended to consult a gynecologist for examination.
