Comparison of pregnancy preparation in ancient and modern times: Pregnant women should do a good job of physical examination and conditioning for their second child

A baby is the most precious life given by God. Parents need to be fully prepared to give birth to a healthy baby. The ancients believed that "Men are dominated by sperm, while women are dominated by blood. Yang sperm overflows without exhaustion, while yin blood flows without deficiency." This shows that men's sperm and women's blood are prerequisites for women to get pregnant.

Comparison of pregnancy preparation in ancient and modern times

In the eyes of the ancients: if you want to have good birth and upbringing, the man's essence must be sufficient and continuous, with many sperm and strong vitality; and the woman's menstruation must come on time, with a stable cycle, a normal amount of blood and no blood clots, and no odor of leucorrhea; the married life of men and women should be harmonious, with the father's sperm and the mother's blood combined into one.

Pregnancy requires sufficient blood and essence from both men and women. Insufficiency of either side may lead to inability to conceive. For example, if the man has abundant blood and the woman has insufficient Yin blood, it is like a seed falling on poor soil, which makes it difficult to grow and germinate. Or if the woman has abundant blood and the man has insufficient blood, it is like the soil is fertile but the seed quality is low, which makes it difficult to grow healthy seedlings. Both of these reasons can lead to difficulty in conceiving or even lifelong childlessness.

What preparations are needed before modern pregnancy

female

1. Actively regulate your body: Relax your body and mind, especially regulate your emotions. You need to get enough sleep every day, and proper physical exercise will help balance your body after pregnancy.

2. Actively treat gynecological diseases: If you have menstrual disorders, period changes, or other gynecological diseases, they should not be ignored. Female endocrine disorders and reproductive inflammation are the most common problems that lead to pregnancy risks.

3. Pre-pregnancy check-up: Pre-pregnancy check-up can help you detect abnormalities before pregnancy, seek timely treatment and avoid potential problems, adjust your physical and mental state to the best state, and have a planned pregnancy under the guidance of a doctor to reduce birth defects and safely go through pregnancy and delivery.

male

1. Improve your physical fitness, especially quit smoking and limit alcohol consumption. Smoking can reduce sperm count, damage sperm cell membranes and DNA, and long-term exposure to secondhand smoke can easily cause male infertility and impotence, and even cause miscarriage and fetal malformation. If you want to improve semen quality, quitting smoking is a hard indicator.

2. Go to bed on time and avoid staying up late. Since sperm production mainly occurs at night, staying up late can lead to spermatogenesis disorders, resulting in a decrease in sperm count, poor sperm motility, increased deformity rate and DNA fragmentation rate, which can easily lead to male infertility and female miscarriage. Men who often stay up late can also suffer from low libido, impotence, premature ejaculation and other symptoms.

3. Avoid sitting for long periods of time. Sitting for long periods of time can affect the function of male reproductive organs, such as poor blood circulation in the testicles, epididymis, prostate and seminal vesicles, leading to chronic prostatitis and epididymitis.

How to keep both men and women full of blood

1. The man is physically weak, with symptoms such as frequent dizziness, tinnitus, and weakness in waist and knees, which often indicates insufficient kidney essence. He should nourish the kidney to replenish his essence, with Liuwei Dihuang Decoction as the main treatment.

2. If men are easily fatigued, afraid of cold, and have clear and long urine, it indicates kidney yang deficiency, which Chinese medicine calls "cold essence". Add Schisandra chinensis and cooked aconite root to Liuwei Dihuang Decoction to warm the yang and benefit the essence.

3. The woman is physically weak, with symptoms such as scanty menstruation, fatigue, forgetfulness, pale and fat tongue with little tongue coating, which often indicates blood deficiency. The spleen should be tonified to replenish the blood. The spleen tonification should be mainly based on Shenling Baizhu San. For those with scanty menstruation, add Angelica sinensis and Chuanxiong.

Nutritional methods for women with irregular menstruation

1. If the symptoms are scanty menstruation, pale complexion, pale lips and nails, dizziness, palpitations, shortness of breath, insomnia, dry skin, etc., due to blood deficiency, Liuwei Dihuang Pills should be used for treatment;

2. If you are in poor health and have chronic diseases, such as indigestion, chronic gastroenteritis, adnexitis, tracheitis, etc., and have symptoms such as bloating, loss of appetite, loose stools, weakness in the limbs, and sallow complexion, use Shenling Baizhu Powder to nourish the spleen and strengthen the body;

3. If a woman has a cold uterus, also known as "uterine cold", which is manifested by delayed menstrual cycle, scanty and dark menstruation, blood clots, or even amenorrhea, lower abdominal pain before or during menstruation, pain relieved by hot compress, and thick and clear leucorrhea, you can use Nu Jin Dan, Ai Fu Nuan Gong Wan and other medicines to warm the uterus and drive away the cold.

4. If the wife is obese, likes to drink, has irregular menstruation, and cannot conceive, Wan Mi Zhai believes that she should use Cang Fu Dao Tan Wan to remove dampness and dry phlegm;

5. If the wife is thin, irritable, has irregular menstruation, and cannot conceive, it is mostly because the uterus is dry and bloodless, unable to absorb essence and qi. She should cool the blood and reduce fire by using Siwu plus Cyperus rotundus, Bupleurum, Scutellaria baicalensis, etc.

6. For women who have irregular periods before and after menstruation, Wan Mi Zhai believes that this is a mental disease, mostly caused by worry, depression and anger. It can be treated by calming the qi, nourishing the blood, and relieving depression. It can be treated with Tiao Yuan Wan, which uses Cyperus rotundus, Chuanxiong, and Tangerine peel to relieve depression and smooth the qi, Atractylodes macrocephala to nourish the spleen and promote diuresis, and Angelica sinensis to nourish the blood.
