Patient's question:
The white fruit is the fruit of the ginkgo tree. My grandmother lives in the countryside, and they have several ginkgo trees at home. Knowing I was pregnant, she brought a lot of them and told me to eat them every day. However, white fruits should not be eaten in large quantities. According to the saying here, you can only eat 7 per day. This shows that white fruits, like ginseng, should not be supplemented indiscriminately. Is it good for pregnant women to eat white fruits? How should the quantity be controlled?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is generally recommended not to eat it, as it contains hydrogen cyanide, which is toxic. If you really want to eat it, you can have a small amount, usually one to two per day.If you have just eaten it, you should drink plenty of water to induce vomiting immediately. If it has been more than 12 hours, the only intervention possible is through intravenous fluids to dilute the concentration in the blood. The key is how long ago it was consumed, which is very important. In the future, it is best to avoid consuming unknown substances.
It is recommended to pay attention to a balanced diet during pregnancy, eat more vegetables and fruits, and ensure adequate intake of protein and other nutrients. You can also take appropriate supplements of vitamins and minerals, which are beneficial for both the fetus and the mother's health.
