Can smelling musk cause miscarriage?

Women are very vulnerable during pregnancy and their bodies will be affected by many factors in life. In severe cases, they may even suffer miscarriage. Many pregnant mothers have mentioned many rumors about miscarriage, such as miscarriage caused by eating dog meat, miscarriage caused by living in a newly renovated house, etc. Some of these rumors are true and some are false. So, can smelling musk cause miscarriage?

First, can smelling musk cause miscarriage? Pregnant mothers all know that musk is a very charming smell. Will smelling the aroma of musk cause miscarriage? First of all, we need to understand natural musk and artificially synthesized musk. Natural musk is the secretion of the glandular sac between the navel and genitals of male musk deer. After drying, it is both a precious spice and a precious medicinal material. In addition to promoting blood circulation and relieving pain, unblocking meridians, opening up the orifices and refreshing the mind, it can also be used to induce labor. Artificial musk is a kind of medicine and pharmaceutical ingredient that can replace natural musk. The musk we come into contact with in daily life is usually artificial musk.

Second, the medicinal properties of natural musk are relatively strong and can indeed cause miscarriage in pregnant women. However, almost all the musk we see in daily life now is artificial. Although it may have adverse effects on pregnant mothers, it is not as serious as shown in TV dramas, and it will not cause miscarriage immediately after smelling it. Generally speaking, only pregnant mothers who are immersed in the scent of musk for a long time will have the chance of inducing miscarriage. Occasionally smelling musk perfume or musk ointment will not cause miscarriage, but pregnant mothers are advised not to smell it if possible.

Can smelling musk cause miscarriage? Musk contains musk ketone, which is volatile. The uterus is particularly sensitive during pregnancy, and long-term contact of musk with the pregnant mother's skin can stimulate uterine contractions and cause miscarriage. Especially for some pregnant women who are sensitive to musk, short-term skin contact with musk may cause miscarriage. Pregnant women with sensitive constitutions are advised to avoid contact with musk, whether it is natural or artificial. For women of childbearing age who are in good health and physical condition, long-term exposure to musk may also cause infertility. But pregnant mothers don’t have to worry too much. If you are not exposed to musk for a long time due to work, do not cannot live without perfume every day during pregnancy, and do not apply musk ointment for a long time during pregnancy, accidental contact of musk with the skin will not pose a threat to the fetus.
