Can a man have a child by taking Chinese medicine?

We know that women will go through a period of body conditioning before getting pregnant, especially they should not take any medicine before getting pregnant. However, for men, people don’t seem to have any special requirements. In fact, this is a misunderstanding. So can men have children by taking Chinese medicine? It depends on the specific situation. After all, the child develops in the womb, which places higher demands on the female body. If a man becomes pregnant after taking Chinese medicine, the pregnant woman should pay more attention and do a pregnancy test in time.

1. Can I get pregnant if my husband takes Chinese medicine?

If you do not take Chinese medicine so frequently, you can keep the child first, and then do regular check-ups of pregnant women in each stage. If any abnormalities are found, it is better to terminate the pregnancy. Generally speaking, the side effects of Chinese medicine are not as great as those of Western medicine. Taking a small amount of Chinese medicine will not have a big impact on the fetus. However, if you take some new drugs or other drugs during pregnancy, the amount of hormones will be relatively large, which can easily affect the development of the fetus and even cause fetal malformations. At this time, we need to consider that, to be on the safe side, men should not consider having children while taking Chinese medicine.

2. Take as little medication as possible during pregnancy

Please note that you should take as few medicines as possible during pregnancy. Medicines such as Chuanxiong, Dafupi, Chuanxiong, Curcuma, and Guizhi are not suitable for pregnant women. You should be careful not to use medicines. Such medicines have a certain effect of promoting the flow of qi and blood, and will affect the stability of the fetus. However, if you took the medicine before the 17th, it is not a big deal now. You should pay attention to keeping warm and see if you have diarrhea.

3. Does taking Chinese medicine before pregnancy have a big impact?

Drugs may affect fetal development, but this is not absolute. It is related to the amount used and the fetus's tolerance to the drugs. If it is confirmed to be an intrauterine pregnancy, an ultrasound can be performed when the pregnancy is more than three months to further understand the development of the fetus. If necessary, an amniocentesis can be performed at 16-20 weeks of pregnancy to further clarify the diagnosis.

The fertilized egg implants about 5 to 7 days after intercourse. Any medication taken after implantation will more or less have a certain impact on the baby, especially the first three months of pregnancy is the period of baby's brain nerve development.

If you are affected by the drugs at this time, the consequences will be very serious, so it is recommended that if you want a baby, you want a high-quality baby. You probably want a healthy and strong baby when your body functions are fully adapted.

If I get pregnant while taking Chinese medicine, can I keep the baby?

It's okay, just stop taking the medicine.

Taking medications in early pregnancy will have a certain impact on the fetus. The specific situation varies from person to person, and the specific extent of the impact cannot be predicted at present. If you want to keep the fetus, you need to strictly carry out pregnancy checkups.

Generally, drugs have an impact on the fetus. If you want to keep the baby, regular prenatal checkups are recommended.

What are the taboos of drinking Chinese medicine?

Do not drink strong tea when taking Chinese medicine, because tea contains tannic acid. Strong tea contains more tannic acid. When taken with Chinese medicine, it will affect the body's absorption of the active ingredients in the medicine and reduce its efficacy.

It is not advisable to eat radish when taking Chinese medicine (except for taking qi-regulating and phlegm-resolving medicines), because radish has the effects of helping food and breaking up qi. Especially when taking tonic Chinese medicines such as ginseng, eating radish will reduce the effect of the tonic and cause it to lose its tonic effect and fail to achieve the therapeutic purpose. Patients with digestive tract diseases such as hepatitis and chronic gastroenteritis should avoid taking garlic when taking spleen-strengthening, stomach-warming and stomach-regulating medicines. Garlic contains allicin, which can stimulate the gastrointestinal mucosa and cause congestion of the mucosa, and the Chinese medicine they take will not be able to effectively play its therapeutic role. You cannot eat chili peppers when taking Chinese medicine, especially when you have a fever. It is even more inappropriate to eat chili peppers when taking medicine for clearing heat and cooling blood or nourishing yin and reducing inflammation. Chili peppers can reduce the efficacy of the medicine, making the treatment ineffective or weakening the efficacy.
