What is the principle of Chinese medicine in taking the pulse to determine the gender of the baby?

According to the thinking at the time of liberation, everyone likes to have sons. Of course, the ancients also thought so. The main purpose was to have sons to carry on the family line and pass on the family's incense. So, for a long time, when it comes to the birth of a boy or a girl, everyone will try every means to find out whether they are giving birth to a boy or a girl during pregnancy. Can Chinese medicine determine the gender of the baby by taking the pulse? Let us take a look today to see if this magical effect exists.

There are old Chinese doctors who can reach this level, but it is not 100% accurate and can only be used as a reference. In addition, B-ultrasound can also fail. Generally speaking, taking the pulse and checking the gender of the baby through B-ultrasound are prohibited, because many people do not want the baby because it is a girl. However, there have been cases where the B-ultrasound showed that the baby was a girl, but because the pregnancy lasted for a long time, the baby had a miscarriage, and the result turned out to be a boy. Just cause trouble. The B-ultrasound showed a boy, but when he was born it was a girl, and then they said the hospital switched the baby. Therefore, gender testing is prohibited. Generally, the pulse of a pregnant woman is good, smooth, rapid and harmonious.

To sum up, taking the pulse to determine gender is mainly based on personal experience and has no basis in traditional Chinese medicine theory. But then again, Chinese medicine itself is an empirical theory.

Regarding the question of whether the baby will be a boy or a girl, the book says that a strong pulse on the left hand indicates a boy, and a strong pulse on the left hand indicates a girl. My teacher also said so. My experience is that it is very accurate around 40 days, but after 4 or 5 months the accuracy is not that high, about 60 or 70 percent. Perhaps I need to improve my level. Pulse diagnosis has a long history in my country. It is a summary of the experience of long-term medical practice by ancient Chinese medical scientists. Bian Que, a famous doctor during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period recorded in "Records of the Grand Historian", was well-known for his expertise in the methods of observation, auscultation, questioning and palpation, especially for pulse diagnosis. To effectively treat a disease, one must first have a correct diagnosis. Modern medicine utilizes the achievements of science and technology to provide more and more means of diagnosing diseases. But in ancient times, doctors mainly relied on methods such as observation, questioning, listening, smelling, and touching to diagnose diseases. This was the case in almost every country in the ancient world, and each country had its own rich experience. Pulse diagnosis, used in ancient Chinese medicine, is a unique diagnostic method. Pulse diagnosis, also known as pulse taking, is one of the "four examinations" in traditional Chinese medicine (observation, auscultation, questioning, and palpation), and is also an indispensable objective basis for syndrome differentiation and treatment.

So it seems that an experienced master can still tell whether the baby is a boy or a girl from the pulse, but everyone should not believe the rumors and ask their wives to have an abortion in order to have a son. This is clearly using any means to have a son. Everyone should know the seriousness of miscarriage, and from a biological point of view, the decision of whether the baby is a boy or a girl actually depends on the man.
