Can pregnant women drink motherwort?

Women all know that motherwort is very helpful to women's health and also has beauty effects. Especially for women with dysmenorrhea, drinking a glass of motherwort water when dysmenorrhea starts can be very warm, and the stomach will not hurt so much and it can also treat some other gynecological inflammations. But can pregnant women drink motherwort? Many people don't understand this question. Please see the following detailed introduction for this.

Studies have found that motherwort has a significant stimulating effect on women's uterus, whether pregnant or not, early or late pregnancy uterus, or postpartum uterus. Motherwort has the effect of enhancing uterine contraction, and its effect is similar to that of posterior pituitary hormone and ergoline. Motherwort has a stimulating effect on the uterus, which is manifested as increased uterine tension, increased contraction amplitude, and accelerated rhythm. Therefore, motherwort is not suitable for pregnant women. Taking motherwort not only has no effect on stabilizing the fetus, but may also increase the risk of miscarriage. Therefore, pregnant women should avoid using motherwort to avoid causing miscarriage or premature birth.

Motherwort is a good medicine for promoting blood circulation. It should be avoided for pregnant women. However, it is hard to say whether it will be dangerous for pregnant women to drink motherwort. It can only be said that there may be an impact but it is not absolute. In clinical practice, some people ask questions such as whether they can drink motherwort during pregnancy after drinking it. We generally say that if a woman accidentally drinks motherwort after becoming pregnant, it is best to do a good job of subsequent pregnancy checkups and do a four-dimensional color Doppler ultrasound examination at 22-26 weeks of pregnancy to understand the development of the fetus and whether there are any deformities. Please pay attention to this.

It is forbidden for pregnant women to use. Avoid eating raw or cold food. This medicine is not suitable for patients with deficiency of both Qi and blood, such as scanty menstruation, light-colored and thin menstruation, accompanied by dizziness, palpitations, fatigue and weakness. Patients with high blood pressure, heart disease, kidney disease, diabetes or who are undergoing other treatments should take the medicine under the guidance of a physician. If your menstrual flow is normal but suddenly becomes light, you should go to the hospital for treatment. Adolescent girls and menopausal women should take medicine under the guidance of a doctor.

After reading the above introduction, we know that pregnant women cannot drink motherwort water, as there is a great risk of miscarriage, so we must take it seriously. Pregnant women must consult their doctors about what they can and cannot eat. This is not only responsible for themselves, but also can protect their babies. They should also pay attention to getting more rest.
