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 my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. What should I do if I accidentally consume Job's tears while pregnant?Doctor's answer:
It is a medicinal and edible plant. Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that it has a slippery and beneficial nature. Pharmacological experiments have shown that coix seed has an excitatory effect on uterine smooth muscle, which can promote uterine contractions and may therefore lead to the possibility of inducing miscarriage. Hello, generally, an early pregnancy test can be done around day 35 of a missed period, or a blood HCG test can be performed 10 days after intercourse to confirm pregnancy. After conception, it is important to rest and maintain 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.
