Patient's question:
I found out I'm pregnant. My last period was on April 2nd, and I took medication on April 27th—Pipemidic Acid Dispersible Tablets, three boxes. This month, my period didn't come on the 2nd, and I discovered I'm pregnant. Could you please ask the doctor if taking this medication will affect the fetus? Can I still continue the pregnancy? I'm feeling very conflicted right now.Doctor's answer:
In this case, there is an impact, which has a certain teratogenic effect, but the effect should not be too significant. It is recommended to undergo prenatal examinations and closely monitor the fetal development. If necessary, a Down syndrome screening can be performed to rule out the possibility of fetal malformation or developmental abnormalities. The onset of menopause not only affects a woman's life but also leads to the occurrence of gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have a routine examination in the gynecology department of the hospital, identify the cause, and then receive targeted treatment. Pay attention to dietary regulation, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
