Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: I am a mother who has given birth to a lovely daughter, but I still want to have a second child and really hope it's a boy. Can hospitals really use ultrasound to determine the gender of the baby?Doctor's answer:
1. Eat more alkaline foods, or foods rich in potassium and sodium, such as root vegetables like sweet potatoes and potatoes, fruits, chestnuts, soda crackers, and non-creamy desserts, which are higher in alkaline content. The chances of having a boy increase. If you adopt dietary control, start one month before you want to conceive so that the woman's body can be adjusted to form an alkaline environment.2. Change the pH level of the vagina: Using a 2%-2.5% baking soda solution to rinse the vagina before intercourse can increase the likelihood of having a boy. Generally, having intercourse around the time of ovulation is more likely to result in a boy.
3. Control the timing and depth of ejaculation: If the man ejaculates when the woman reaches orgasm and near the cervix, it is more likely to result in a boy.
