Anemia is a common complication during pregnancy for most pregnant women. Many pregnant women ignore it, thinking that it is common during pregnancy. However, this is not beneficial for both the baby and the pregnant woman. When anemia occurs during pregnancy, it should be actively treated. What should pregnant women do if they have anemia? Most of the time, it is caused by iron deficiency. Traditional Chinese medicine is a safe and reliable way to treat it. Today, let's take a look at a method used by a physician in Shandong, China, who has been highly recognized for treating anemia in pregnant women!
Dr. Wang Qi from Shandong has achieved positive results in treating anemia in pregnant women using traditional Chinese medicine. It can reduce pregnancy reactions, improve appetite, and has no adverse effects. It is an effective method of treatment.
Iron deficiency anemia is a common complication during pregnancy, which not only affects the growth and development of the fetus but also poses a great risk to the pregnant woman. In Chinese medicine, anemia in pregnant women belongs to the category of "weakness of qi and blood." The pathogenesis is due to the weak digestion and transformation function of the spleen and stomach after conception, leading to insufficient nutrient supply. Western medicine mainly diagnosis and treats iron deficiency anemia. The commonly used treatment is ferrous sulfate. However, ferrous sulfate can cause gastrointestinal symptoms and worsen pregnancy reactions, so most pregnant women find it difficult to adhere to the treatment. Dr. Wang Qi has achieved good results in treating anemia in pregnant women and reducing adverse reactions using traditional Chinese medicine.
1. Treatment principles: Focus on replenishing qi and blood, and strengthening the spleen and stomach.
2. Medicinal composition:
Codonopsis pilosula 15g, Atractylodes macrocephala 9g, Astragalus membranaceus 15g, Angelica sinensis 9g, Crataegus pinnatifida 15g, Citrus reticulata 12g, Colla corii asini 12g (dissolved in water), Perilla frutescens 9g, Jujube 8 pieces.
3. Explanation of the prescription: Codonopsis pilosula, Atractylodes macrocephala, and Crataegus pinnatifida strengthen the spleen and stomach, and wake up the stomach. Citrus reticulata and Perilla frutescens regulate the middle and promote qi circulation, stopping vomiting. Colla corii asini mainly supplements iron, while Angelica sinensis and Jujube contain various trace elements for nourishing and replenishing blood.
4. Modification based on symptoms: For severe palpitations and insomnia, add Poria cocos 12g, Ziziphus spinosa 21g, and Celastrus orbiculatus 15g. For significant nausea and vomiting, add Amomum villosum 9g.
5. Efficacy: 51 pregnant women with iron deficiency anemia who received prenatal examinations in the gynecology department were randomly divided into two groups. The treatment group was treated with pure Chinese medicine, while the control group received conventional Western medicine treatment with ferrous sulfate. After 30 days of treatment, the indicators showed that Chinese medicine and ferrous sulfate had similar effects in treating iron deficiency anemia in pregnant women. Furthermore, the comparison of indicators between the two groups showed that Chinese medicine reduced adverse reactions in pregnant women compared to ferrous sulfate.
From the above comparison of treatments, it can be seen that using traditional Chinese medicine not only increases the supply of hematopoietic nutrients, but also compensates for the relative iron deficiency during pregnancy. It also improves the absorption function of the digestive tract, allowing nutrients to be better absorbed, and plays a role in nourishing blood, invigorating the spleen, and strengthening the stomach. Therefore, traditional Chinese medicine has significant efficacy in treating iron deficiency anemia, with minimal harm to pregnant women and babies, making it a good method worth trying.
