Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Why is progesterone different?Doctor's answer:
Hello, generally it is possible to take an early pregnancy test around day 35 of a missed period or have a blood HCG test 10 days after intercourse to confirm pregnancy. After becoming pregnant, it is important to rest and ensure proper nutrition, avoiding spicy and irritating foods. Regular prenatal check-ups, such as ultrasound for fetal anomaly screening and Down syndrome screening, should be conducted.Before deciding to wean, it is essential to prepare properly. Start by gradually introducing complementary foods rather than using abrupt methods. Gradually reduce the frequency of breastfeeding while increasing the frequency and amount of complementary foods until breastfeeding is completely stopped. During weaning, the child may cry, show signs of adjustment, and it is important to provide more comfort, such as toys or storytelling, to help them overcome the need for sucking.
Avoid sudden, forceful refusal to breastfeed or applying substances like chili or huanglian to the nipples, as this can cause strong discomfort and make it difficult for the child to adapt to the sudden change in diet. This may lead to multiple days of crying, lethargy, refusal to eat, weakness, and weight loss, affecting their development and even causing illness.
Before weaning the child, it is important to lay a solid foundation and gradually change their diet to ensure a smooth transition.
