Patient's question:
I am very scared when this happens. I often have lower abdominal pain and don't know how to solve it, so I came here to consult. What should I pay attention to before preparing for pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
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 becoming pregnant, it is important to rest and ensure proper nutrition, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Regular prenatal check-ups, such as ultrasound for fetal anomaly screening and Down syndrome screening, should be conducted. You can also try applying calamine lotion. Short-term topical use of dexamethasone cream or hydrocortisone ointment may also be helpful. Oral medications like diphenhydramine and cyproheptadine can be used. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment can also be effective, and you may choose to rinse with a decoction of purple grass externally. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
