How long does it take for a Chinese doctor to tell the pulse of a woman during pregnancy?

TV series often show that in ancient times, the emperor would feel the pulse to know what disease the woman had. If she was pregnant, they would say she was pregnant. Before there were pregnancy test strips, Chinese medicine pulse feeling was a way to check whether a woman was pregnant. In addition, Chinese medicine would continue to determine whether a woman was pregnant based on other symptoms. So, how long after pregnancy can Chinese medicine diagnose the patient?

How long after pregnancy can Chinese medicine tell the pulse?

After pregnancy, "slippery pulse" appears, that is, the pulse moves smoothly like beads rolling on a plate. It usually appears around 45 days after menopause. A slippery pulse may occur during pregnancy, but it does not necessarily indicate pregnancy. "A normal person's smooth pulse indicates that his or her Ying and Wei are abundant", that is, a normal person's slippery pulse indicates that he or she has abundant Ying and Wei, which is the main manifestation of physical and mental health. There are other criteria for judging pregnancy based on slippery pulse: the woman must be married, have had sexual intercourse, had normal menstruation in the past, and has not had menstruation for more than 45 days. She has a typical slippery pulse, a rosy face, fatigue like a fever, swelling of the lower abdomen and breasts, or nausea and retching. Only then did I consider pregnancy. Women may experience slippery pulse during their menstrual period, within three days before or after menstruation, or in the middle of two menstrual periods, which is the ovulation period.

Therefore, pregnancy cannot be determined based on pulse diagnosis alone. In addition, if the woman is pregnant but there is no slippery pulse, it usually means miscarriage or premature birth. The place to take the pulse is generally the Cunkou pulse, which is divided into three parts: Cun, Guan, and Chi. Stretch the door handle outward and put it naturally on the table. You will see a protruding bone in the wrist area. On the side of the thumb, put the fingers of the other hand on this protrusion. On the inner edge of the protrusion, you can feel the arterial pulse. This position is "Guan". Closed (the position of the fingertips) is Cun, and closed is Chi.

How long does it take for pregnancy to show symptoms?

Women will experience pregnancy symptoms around six weeks of pregnancy, such as delayed menstruation, continued increase in body temperature during ovulation, nausea and retching, frequent and urgent urination, breast and skin changes, etc. These early pregnancy symptoms generally last until the third month of pregnancy. But not everyone has reactions in the early stages of pregnancy. If a woman suspects that she is pregnant, she can use pregnancy test sticks, pregnancy test strips and other tools to self-test. It is best to go to the hospital for examination, as the result will be more accurate. What needs to be established is that the pregnancy reactions of different groups vary greatly, and it is unreasonable to determine whether you are pregnant based solely on the symptoms that occur in early pregnancy.

The above changes in women's bodies are likely caused by factors such as illness, damage to the human body environment, etc., and do not necessarily mean that they are pregnant. Women must go to the hospital for HCG urine test or HCG blood test, B-ultrasound and other tests, so that they can accurately determine whether they are pregnant and make appropriate solutions.
