Drink Chinese medicine before pregnancy to give birth to a boy

It is a folk belief that taking Chinese medicine before pregnancy can help you give birth to a boy. This statement has not been scientifically verified, and if you take Chinese medicine during the pregnancy preparation period, it may affect conception. Some ingredients in Chinese medicine may affect the reproductive system and have an adverse effect on conception. Even if conception occurs, it may have adverse effects on the fetus. Let's take a look at this aspect.

Drink Chinese medicine before pregnancy to give birth to a boy

We know that male chromosomes are XY and female chromosomes are XX, and a baby can be created when male sperm and female egg combine. If you want to have a boy, of course you have to combine the male's Y chromosome with the female's X chromosome. The suitable environment for male Y chromosomes is an alkaline environment. Therefore, many people believe that chromosome Y can only survive if the female body's internal environment is alkaline. To change the acid-base environment of the female body, Chinese medicine can be used for conditioning. As long as the environment is adjusted to an alkaline environment, the standard for giving birth to a boy can be met. This statement is not entirely correct. Chinese medicine can regulate a person's physique, but as to whether it can regulate the birth of a boy or a girl, it is not certain. Looking through all the orthodox Chinese medicine literature from ancient times to the present, no effective and reliable medicine that can help give birth to a boy has been found. In short, if you take Chinese medicine before pregnancy, you must use it under the guidance of a doctor.

It is recommended that male and female friends let nature take its course, follow the scientific path, and do not believe in some folk remedies or secret recipes, as this will have the opposite effect. According to traditional Chinese medicine, taking Chinese medicine before pregnancy can regulate the body, but you should avoid taking it blindly. It is best to consult a doctor before taking the medicine.

Women who are planning to have a baby should be careful when taking medication before pregnancy;

1. Try not to take medicine before pregnancy

During the 3rd to 6th month of pregnancy, both husband and wife should not take drugs such as morphine, chlorpromazine, antipyretic analgesics, ciprofloxacin, ketoconazole, erythromycin, rifampicin, etc. These drugs have a great impact on the fertilized egg.

2. Drugs that women should use with caution before pregnancy

Before pregnancy, women should not take hormone drugs, certain antibiotics, antiemetics, anticancer drugs, sleeping pills, etc. These drugs have a great impact on female reproductive cells. Generally speaking, it is safe for women to get pregnant again one month after stopping the medication. Some drugs will affect the body for a longer time, so women need to consult a doctor to determine the time of conception.

3. Drugs that men should use with caution before pregnancy

Drugs that affect male sperm quality include antihistamines, anticancer drugs, caffeine, morphine, steroids, diuretics, aphrodisiacs, etc. These drugs can not only cause birth defects in newborns, but also cause developmental delays and abnormal behavior in infants. The sperm maturation cycle is about 2 months, so try not to take this type of medication during this period.

4. How long does it take to get pregnant after stopping the medication?

For women who have taken birth control pills or used medical contraceptives before pregnancy, it is generally 6 months after stopping the medication before getting pregnant. However, some drugs may have a longer effect, so if you want to determine the safe time to conceive, it is best to consult a doctor.
