Question
Does ectopic pregnancy affect a child’s health, especially when treated with Chinese medicine after diagnosis?
Answer
The use of certain Chinese herbs, such as Danshen, Trichosanthes, Chuanxiong, Atractylodes, and Siler, may have adverse effects on the fetus, particularly if these herbs have strong blood-activating and abortifacient properties. Even though the effects of Chinese medicine may not be as direct and rapid as Western medicine, their use can still have a significant impact on the fetus in the short term.
