Can I drink Huanglian water during late pregnancy?

You can drink Coptis chinensis water in the late pregnancy, but you need to drink it in moderation and not too much.

Coptis chinensis water has the effect of clearing and purging heat, and can effectively relieve constipation, especially in the late pregnancy, when the amount of activity is reduced and dry stools may occur. Drinking some Coptis chinensis water appropriately can promote bowel movements, but don't drink too much to avoid abdominal pain and diarrhea or premature birth, which will affect the development of the fetus and your own health.

In the late stages of pregnancy, the size of the fetus will increase, which will put pressure on the bladder, and pregnant women will experience frequent urination, which is usually a normal physiological phenomenon. At this time, the flora inside the vagina will also be out of balance, so it is necessary to keep the private parts clean to prevent the vagina from being infected by bacteria or viruses and inducing vaginitis. The diet also needs to be diversified. You can eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, which are rich in vitamins and trace elements, which can promote gastrointestinal motility and prevent constipation.

Pregnant women in the late stages of pregnancy also need to refrain from sexual intercourse to avoid stimulation of the uterus and premature birth. They also need to count fetal movements regularly. If fetal movements suddenly decrease or become too frequent, the fetus may be suffering from hypoxia in the uterus, and they need to go to the hospital's obstetrics and gynecology department for oxygen treatment in time.
