Patient's question:
Currently, I am about 40 days pregnant. Initially, I didn't know, so I took 26 doses of traditional Chinese medicine for regulating menstruation. The ingredients in the traditional Chinese medicine include: Astragalus, Angelica sinensis, White peony root, Cinnamon twigs, Ligusticum chuanxiong, Prepared ginger, Salvia miltiorrhiza, Drynaria fortunei, Fennel, Persicae semina, Carthamus tinctorius, Sparganium, Curcumae rhizoma, Rehmannia glutinosa, Polygonatum sibiricum, Cervid antler ash, Eeltar, Tribulus terrestrisDoctor's answer:
General medications can potentially cause fetal malformations and miscarriages. However, this varies from person to person. It is recommended not to worry too much and to undergo regular prenatal check-ups during pregnancy. For the first 36 weeks, prenatal check-ups should be conducted once every four weeks, and after 36 weeks, once a week. Under the guidance of a doctor, you can choose medication to promote follicular development and growth. You should now undergo an ultrasound to monitor whether your ovaries are ovulating normally. Even if ovulation does not occur, it is not advisable to blindly stimulate ovulation. Instead, certain methods should be used to determine the reason for the lack of ovulation. Only then can the treatment be targeted to the specific issue.
