Patient's question:
What medicine is the best for maintaining pregnancyDoctor's answer:
For pregnant women, medication should not be taken lightly, as it can affect the health of the fetus. Even for medication to support fetal development, it is essential to visit a hospital for a check-up and follow the doctor's advice on whether it is necessary to take medication and which type of medication is most suitable. Do not self-medicate at home without professional guidance.Generally, when doctors prescribe medication to support fetal development, they often use a combination of pregnancy-supporting pills and vitamin E. Pregnancy-supporting pills have the functions of tonifying qi and nourishing blood, as well as supporting fetal development and ensuring a safe pregnancy. For pregnant women with qi deficiency during pregnancy, such as lower back and leg pain, and restlessness due to fetal movement, pregnancy-supporting pills can be highly effective. Additionally, for women with a history of habitual abortion, oral medroxyprogesterone (progesterone) combined with vitamin E may be prescribed.
During pregnancy, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) can also be used to support fetal development. There are many proven TCM formulas for this purpose, and many renowned TCM practitioners specializing in gynecology have their own unique methods. It is advisable to consult them for diagnosis and treatment. However, pregnant women should not self-select TCM for fetal support, as this is unreliable and should not involve using someone else's prescription.
