Doctor's answer:
After a woman becomes pregnant, she should not undergo steam baths or similar activities. After conception, a woman's body becomes relatively weaker compared to before. During steam baths, the high temperature and poor air circulation can easily lead to symptoms such as dizziness and chest tightness, which can then negatively affect the child. This may cause the child to choke or have difficulty breathing. In mild cases, it can disrupt the child's brain development, while in severe cases, it may lead to miscarriage. Therefore, it is not recommended for women to steam during pregnancy.
