Patient's question:
Treatment situation: No tests have been performedDesired assistance: Hello doctor: My friend is 42 years old this year and has given birth once before. Now she wants to have another child, but this time she took many antiallergic drugs without knowing she was pregnant and also drank some alcohol. I don’t know if the child can be kept.
Doctor's answer:
Consult a geneticist in a timely manner. If you took medication before pregnancy, you need to refer to the doctor's advice, as the impact varies depending on the type of medication. Specific cases should be analyzed individually. Some medications have minor side effects and have little impact on embryonic development, while certain highly toxic drugs can cause fetal malformations or even lead to embryonic death. Drinking alcohol during pregnancy can cause "Fetal Alcohol Syndrome," which is more common among women who consume alcohol long-term, in large quantities, or even engage in alcohol abuse during pregnancy. However, this condition is rarely seen in China. Drinking in moderation is unlikely to have a significant impact on the fetus.
