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. How should liver function be checked at eight months of pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
In your case, it may be due to liver function damage. The essence of liver function damage is the degeneration and necrosis of liver cells. This inevitably leads to the leakage of enzymes from liver cells into the blood, a decline in the ability of liver cells to synthesize proteins and gluconeogenesis, and the retention of bilirubin, ammonia, and other substances that need to be processed by the liver in the blood. It is recommended to conduct a detailed examination of liver function and the hepatitis B surface antigen, antibody, core antibody, and e-antigen (HBsAg, Anti-HBs, Anti-HBc, and HBeAg). It is also suggested that you take probiotics such as Bifidumbacterium infantis, health supplements like "Yuan Sheng Li Wei," and digestive enzymes like pancreatin. In daily life, it is advisable to avoid spicy and cold foods, limit the consumption of easily fermentable and gas-producing foods like milk and soy milk, quit smoking and alcohol, and pay attention to keeping your abdomen warm. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
