Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? When can I stop taking folic acid pills?Doctor's answer:
Hello, taking 0.4 milligrams of folic acid supplements (brand name "Sulian") daily during the three months before pregnancy and the three months after pregnancy can prevent most neural tube defects in the fetus. This is because women often experience cold hands and feet, imbalanced qi, emotional instability, and endocrine disorders due to the body's dryness and the effects of wind, cold, and dampness after the weather turns cooler. If these conditions are not treated and regulated in a timely manner, they may affect the reproductive system, potentially leading to adverse consequences such as female infertility.
