Patient's question:
Doctor: Hello!I would like to ask, if you are pregnant, can you get your hair permed or colored? Or if you are not pregnant now but plan to have a baby, could you please tell me if perming or coloring hair will have any impact on the child? Can you wear makeup when you are pregnant?
Doctor's answer:
Hello! It is not recommended to get a hair treatment during pre-pregnancy preparation, as the chemical ingredients in hair products can have teratogenic side effects on fetal development.Choosing an appropriate age for childbirth is beneficial for reproductive health. Women under 18 or over 35 have an increased risk of pregnancy complications. Before pregnancy, it is important to avoid exposure to substances harmful to pregnancy, such as chemical toxins and radiation. Women who use long-term birth control pills should ideally stop taking them 6 months before getting pregnant.
Before pregnancy, women should strive to maintain a good mental state, eat a nutritious diet, maintain a regular lifestyle, and work moderately. Quit smoking, alcohol, and other harmful habits. Folic acid supplementation can reduce the risk of neural tube defects in the fetus.
Wishing you a healthy baby.
