Precautions for taking ovulation-promoting Chinese medicine

Many infertile female friends will use some ovulation-inducing methods to conceive in their lives. The ovulation-inducing methods generally involve taking some drugs to stimulate the ovaries and uterus to secrete sex hormones and the development of follicles. You need to be especially careful when taking follicle-stimulating Chinese medicine, as it may cause abnormal physiological reactions and lead to fetal malnutrition and endometrial stimulation. It is recommended that everyone should pay attention to it.

In clinical practice, doctors do not encourage patients to use ovulation-inducing drugs at will. Even if a mother conceives twins or multiple births through drugs, the mother will bear huge risks during pregnancy, which can easily lead to various obstetric complications. The fetus is also prone to malnutrition, low weight, poor survival and other problems.

Since pregnancy and childbirth under pharmacological effects violate normal physiological reactions, doctors only use it with caution when treating female patients with infertility caused by anovulation. Women of childbearing age should take such drugs with caution under the strict diagnosis and guidance of a doctor.

The use of ovulation-stimulating injections can promote the development, maturation and rupture of follicles, thereby allowing the egg cells to be successfully released. It can mainly treat female infertility caused by ovulation disorders and poor follicular development, and can greatly increase the possibility of conception. When women take ovulation-stimulating injections, it is mainly recommended that they first adjust their normal pituitary function. Therefore, when taking ovulation-stimulating injections, they should pay attention to their daily rest, especially not staying up late, as this will cause endocrine disorders in the body. Secondly, it is recommended that they should stop other drug treatments, do not take some Chinese patent medicines or other Chinese medicines, and pay attention to relaxing and maintaining a good mood, and eat more beans to regulate hormones.

Ovulation-inducing drugs, represented by clomiphene, are hormonal drugs and are generally used to treat infertility in female patients caused by anovulation. However, the side effects of using ovulation-inducing drugs are very obvious. The ovaries continue to ovulate under the stimulation of the drugs, which can easily cause women to have irregular menstruation, premature ovarian failure, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, and a small number of people will develop ovarian tumors.

The key depends on each person's sensitivity. Usually, Western medicine will work faster than Chinese medicine. Relax your mind. If you take ovulation-inducing medicine, you should use B-ultrasound to monitor the growth of follicles after taking the medicine. The above is a suggestion on the question of "Is it better to take Chinese medicine or Western medicine to induce ovulation?"

However, the drug ingredients contained in ovulation-stimulating injections belong to the category of hormones. Blind use of the drug may lead to endocrine disorders and physiological dysfunction, and even cause a series of side effects such as abdominal pain and stomach pain. Therefore, you must consult a relevant doctor before use, and use this type of drug only when necessary.

Ovulation-inducing drugs are hormonal drugs. Blind use can cause ovarian overstimulation and should not be used blindly. Women with regular menstrual cycles ovulate about 14 days before their next menstrual period.

The chance of pregnancy is higher if you have sex during the ovulation period. It is recommended that you have sex during the ovulation period to increase the chance of pregnancy.

If the follicles develop normally, it is generally not recommended to use ovulation-stimulating injections. If the follicles develop abnormally, you can use ovulation-stimulating injections reasonably according to the doctor's advice. Because self-use of ovulation-stimulating injections may lead to multiple births. Moreover, the use of ovulation-stimulating injections will have some adverse reactions. For example, many people will experience stomach pain, lower abdominal pain, and pelvic pain. A small number of people will also experience blurred vision and decreased vision.
