In daily life, if there are any health problems, medication is usually used for treatment. Medication therapy is relatively conservative, and the treatment effect varies from person to person. However, for pregnant women, due to their special pregnancy period, medication cannot be used arbitrarily. So, what are the effects of medication on embryonic development?
Medications may cause embryonic developmental abnormalities, which is extremely detrimental to the fetus. The effects of drugs can be transmitted to the fetus through the mother's blood, which can have certain adverse effects on fetal growth and development. If a pregnant woman learns of her pregnancy during medication, she should undergo follow-up examinations and inform the doctor of her medication history, so that the doctor can have an understanding of the fetal development.
During pregnancy, due to the incomplete development of the fetus, especially in the early stages of pregnancy, the fetus is still unstable and susceptible to various factors that may cause unexpected situations, making it more sensitive and fragile. Generally speaking, during the third month of pregnancy, medication has a significant impact on the development of the fetus.
If there is no discomfort such as miscarriage after taking medication, it means that the impact on the fetus is not significant. In this case, pregnant women should still use medication with caution. If there are no special or necessary circumstances, try not to take medication, but if medication is necessary, it is best to use it correctly under the guidance of a doctor.
