During the early stages of pregnancy, if you feel down and have cried several times, does it have any impact on the fetus?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

In your case, it may be due to liver qi stagnation. Liver qi stagnation refers to a pattern characterized by abnormal liver function in shu xie (detoxification and regulation), where insufficient shu xie leads to qi stagnation. It is also known as liver qi depression syndrome, or simply liver depression syndrome. Consider using Chai Hu Shu Gan San (Chai Hu Decoction for Liver Qi Stagnation) with modifications for treatment.
