Patient's question:
Because of moderate cervical erosion, I underwent microwave treatment. Since I don't have children, I'm seeking advice from the doctors: how long can I wait to have a baby? Also, as I haven't been pregnant after being married for a year, my menstrual cycle is irregular and abnormal. I've tried various methods like basal body temperature tracking and cycle monitoring, but none have worked. When I went to the hospital, there were no other health issues found. What should I do? Are there any herbal remedies that can help? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Hello: Generally, pregnancy can be attempted after half a year. Based on your description, the symptoms are not severe, and now you should pay attention to the following:1. Maintain a positive mood, avoid mental stress and emotional fluctuations. Some individuals may experience lower abdominal distension, back pain, breast tenderness, mild diarrhea, fatigue, drowsiness, emotional instability, irritability, or tendency to depression during the menstrual period, which are all normal and do not require excessive anxiety.
2. Pay attention to hygiene and prevent infections. Keep the external genital area clean. Intercourse is absolutely forbidden during the menstrual period. Pay attention to keeping warm and avoid cold exposure. Avoid overexertion. Those with heavy menstrual flow should avoid consuming brown sugar.
3. Underwear should be soft, made of cotton, with good ventilation and breathability. Wash and change underwear frequently, and ensure that the exchanged underwear is dried in the sun.
4. Avoid cold, sour, spicy, and other irritating foods. Drink plenty of warm water to maintain smooth bowel movements. Those with blood heat should consume more fresh fruits and vegetables before the menstrual period and avoid stimulating foods like garlic, scallions, chives, and ginger. Individuals with poor qi and blood should increase their nutrition regularly, such as milk, eggs, soy milk, pork liver, spinach, pork, chicken, and mutton, while avoiding cold fruits and vegetables.
Wishing you the earliest possible conception of a healthy and happy baby.
