What should I do if my stomach is bloated when preparing to have a child?

Patient's question:

Preparing to have a child, not sure if I'm pregnant, my stomach is very bloated, feels like there's gas inside, how to take medicine

Doctor's answer:

Medications are used to enhance gastrointestinal motility, but they can cause certain interference to the embryo. If you are currently unsure about how to conceive, it is best not to use these medications without consulting a doctor. For gastrointestinal issues, you can take Jianwei Xiaoshi Pian (Stomach Soothing Tablets) or consume hawthorn, both of which can improve digestion and absorption without causing harm to the baby. The effects are also relatively more noticeable. Additionally, avoid sitting for long periods and engage in light activities after meals to enhance absorption and reduce abdominal pain.
