Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Can I eat red ginger when I'm two months pregnant?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it's better to eat less ginger in the early stages of pregnancy to avoid any impact on it. It is recommended to pay attention to rest, increase nutrition, eat more vegetables and fruits, and supplement folic acid in a timely manner. Regular prenatal check-ups should also be done. Folic acid is particularly important for pregnant women. If there is a lack of folic acid in the first three months of pregnancy, it can lead to neural tube defects in the fetus, thereby increasing the incidence of anencephaly and encephalocele. Additionally, if pregnant women regularly supplement with folic acid, it can prevent newborns from being underweight, premature birth, and congenital deformities such as cleft lip (hare lip).
