備孕時瘋狂吃過的東西
備孕多時還未有消息，焦急的夫婦們都會千方百計增加受孕率，例如吃盡別人說過有助孕功效的食物，抱着一試無妨的心態依奇怪的飲食餐單進食，以下有您/您朋友的身影嗎？

．生蠔放題
生蠔向來被視為壯陽聖品，不少男士在備孕時都瘋狂吃蠔為樂。
⚠️中醫小貼士：蠔含有的鋅是組成精子的重要成份之一，但中醫不鼓勵進食生冷食物，想吃蠔不妨煮熟來吃，但蠔其實沒有顯著的壯陽功效，適量進食就好。

．滴雞精隨身
不少人覺得懷孕前要「補身」，滴雞精成方便之選。
⚠️中醫小貼士：滴雞精是濃縮版燉湯，功效比普通雞湯更要滋補濃厚，較適合久病、氣血虛弱人士適量飲用。雞屬性偏熱，每天喝滴雞精當心補過頭，出現口乾、口苦、暗瘡等體質偏熱症狀。

．薑茶日日灌
常聽說想成功懷孕需「暖宮」，於是每天泡杯黑糖薑茶飲用。
⚠️中醫小貼士：薑性溫，比較適合虛寒體質人士，如果身體有偏熱症狀例如口乾、口瘡、暗瘡等，每天喝薑茶等於火上加油。

．豬肝吃到嘔
據說豬肝補鐵又補血，甚至能提高精子及卵子的質素。
⚠️中醫小貼士：豬肝性溫，的確有養血、補肝、明目的功效，但內臟食物高脂肪、高膽固醇，不宜進食過量。

．牛奶每天喝
牛奶是營養飲品，多喝牛奶補充營養，嬰兒皮膚也會白一點呢！
⚠️中醫小貼士：牛奶有補虛、生津潤腸、有益肺胃的功效，但性質較滋膩，不適合脾胃虛弱人士，否則容易出現消化不良、多胃氣、腹部脹滿等症狀，所以要視乎個人體質飲用。

Foods we eat while trying to get pregnant
Some couples tend to panic when they are unable to conceive, and they would try eating all sorts of food to increase the chances of getting pregnant based on people’s recommendations. Some might even go to the extent of trying weird dishes. Have you or your friends experienced below?

．Raw oysters
People treat raw oysters as aphrodisiac, and many men in particular would indulge in it while getting their female counterpart ready for pregnancy.
⚠️Tip: oyster contains zinc, which is an important component in sperms, but Chinese physicians do not encourage eating it raw and cold. Hence, it would be best to eat the cooked ones. Oysters are not exactly an excellent aphrodisiac, so do consume in an appropriate amount.

．Chicken essence
Many people think it is important to nourish the body before getting pregnant. Hence, chicken essence is the most convenient choice.
⚠️Tip: Chicken essence is a type of concentrated soup and has more benefits than the usual chicken soup. It is suitable for individuals who have been sick for a long time and those who are weak in the qi and blood. According to Chinese physicians, chicken is warm in nature, so be cautious not to consume it on a daily basis. Otherwise, heat-related symptoms such as dry and bitter mouth and acnes would appear.

．Ginger tea
In order to conceive successfully, ‘warming the womb’ is one of the many advices people would share. Hence, they would think that drinking black sugar ginger tea everyday could help with pregnancy.
⚠️Tip: According to Chinese physicians, ginger is warm in nature, and it is suitable for individuals with the cold and weak body constitution. On the contrary, drinking ginger tea on a daily basis is as good as adding fuel to the fire for those who are already exhibiting heat-related symptoms such as dry mouth, oral cankers, and acnes.

．Pork liver
Rumor has it that pork liver can replenish iron and the blood and improve the quality of sperms and ovum.
⚠️Tip: Pork liver is warm in nature and, according to Chinese physicians, can indeed nourish the blood, replenish the liver, and brighten one’s vision. However, innards are high in fats and cholesterols. This is why one should not consume them excessively.

．Milk
Milk is a healthy beverage. Drinking more milk can nourish the body and give the baby a fairer complexion!
⚠️Tip: According to Chinese physicians, milk can replenish deficiencies in the body, induce saliva production and moisten the intestines, and strengthen the lungs and the stomach. However, due to its thick and sticky nature, it is not suitable for individuals with a weak spleen and stomach. Otherwise, these individuals would experience indigestion, gas in the stomach, and bloating. It is important for individuals to understand their body constitutions first before drinking.

【生育大計】不孕的成因很多

⭐避孕藥要遵從醫生指示食用
⭐停藥後記得留意月經狀況
#星期三CheckCheckMail

避孕藥吃久了會不孕？
張太：「我長期服用避孕藥，聽說吃久了容易有不孕問題？」

CheckCheckCin：口服避孕藥含有人工合成的雌激素及黃體素，女生在雌激素持續偏高時卵巢便不會排卵，而黃體素濃度高時子宮頸會增加分泌物阻礙精子通過，從而達到避孕效果。其實現時有售的避孕藥藥效很短，所以需要每天服用，停藥後當月經開始出現正常，就表示排卵功能已經恢復。在停藥後建議先讓月經恢復2至3個正常周期，才開始嘗試懷孕，如果期間發現月經周期、來經日子及經血量有異常情況，或者停藥多時仍未能正常懷孕，建議諮詢註冊中醫師了解狀況調理身體。

✔CheckCheckCin 米水推介：夕米水
材料：紅米、白米、黑芝麻、黑豆
功效：補救熬夜、烏髮養腎、紓緩腰痠

Would taking contraceptive pills lead to infertility?
“I take contraceptive pills quite regularly, and I heard they might cause infertility?”

CheckCheckCin: Oral contraceptives contain synthetic estrogen and progesterone. High estrogen level will prevent ovaries from ovulating, and high progesterone level will encourage the cervix to produce secretion that can stop the sperms from entering. This is basically how a contraceptive pill works.

As the medicinal effect of contraceptive pills available in the market is short, individuals would need to consume it on a daily basis. A person’s period would resume and the ovulation process begins once she stops taking the pills.

Once you have stopped taking the contraceptive pills, it is best to go through 2 to 3 rounds of menstruation first before trying to conceive. If there is something amiss with the menstruation cycle, date, and menstrual blood, consult a registered and licensed Chinese medicine practitioner. Seek professional advice as well if you are failing to conceive even after you have stopped taking contraceptive pills for a long time.

✔Recommendation: Dusk rice water
Ingredients: Red Rice, White Rice, Black Sesame, Black Soya Bean
Effects: remedy to frequent late nights, improve hair quality and nourish kidneys, relieve sore lower back

三招提升精子質量
要成功懷孕，精子必須在形態、數量、活躍度及精液容量四方面都合格，才容易令女方成孕。提到精子質量問題，不少男生大都誤以為食鹿鞭、海狗丸可以壯陽，從中醫角度來看，其實不良生活與飲食習慣對精子質量影響最大，例如晚睡熬夜引致陰虛火旺，常食肥甘厚味及煎炸食物、吸煙飲酒引致痰濕、濕熱體質，工作壓力大以致氣血運行不暢等，胡亂進補反而適得其反，正確方法是按體質調理身體，才能提升精子質量。

1. 注意飲食作息
每日有足夠休息，避免熬夜，飲食清淡，少吃生冷、煎炸肥膩、即食食物，戒煙戒酒，按體質做適量運動，有助改善氣血及減壓。

2. 調理體質
現代人加班熬夜成常態，再加上放肆飲食、工作壓力大等原因，都容易造成痰濕、濕熱、氣滯等體質，氣血不暢通，加上痰濕長期在體內鬱久化熱，容易造成精子活動力不佳等症狀。宜諮詢註冊中醫師辨證論治，按個人體質調理，切忌胡亂服藥壯陽。

3. 房事有節
行房過密會減低精蟲數量，但行房太疏又會降低精蟲的活躍能力，建議一星期兩至三次，排卵期間隔日1次，可以保持精子的質素及活躍度，亦要留意行房後有沒有過份疲勞、不斷流汗、頭暈頭痛、腰酸耳鳴等症狀而作自我調節。

Three steps to improve sperm health
In order to conceive, the sperms must be in good shape, active, and come in a healthy quantity and semen volume. Many men have the misconception that they can improve their sperm quality by consuming deer whip and Strong Seal Pills.

From the perspective Chinese Medicine, bad lifestyle and dietary habits are the primary factors that affect the quality of sperms. Sleeping late can lead to yin deficiency and accumulation of heat in the body. Individuals who eat fatty, greasy, fried, and deep-fried food, as well as those who smoke and drink regularly may develop the phlegm-dampness and damp heat body constitutions. Men who are constantly under stress can also cause the circulation of the qi and blood in the body to stagnate.

Instead of eating random medicine to nourish the body and improve the sperm quality, the best way is to regulate the body according to its constitution.

1. Be mindful of our lifestyle and diets
Have enough rest every day, avoid sleeping late, eat healthily and avoid raw, cold, fried, greasy, and instant foods, avoid smoking and drinking, and exercise appropriately according to our body constitution. All these would help relieve stress and improve the qi and the blood.

2. Regulate the functions of the body
People living in the modern era tend to stay up late, do not control their diet, and constantly live under stress, and all these can llead to the formation of the phlegm-dampness, damp heat, and qi-stagnation body constitutions.

When the circulation of the qi and blood is disrupted and phlegm-dampness and heat accumulate in the body, the sperms’ activity would also be reduced. Consult a registered and licensed Chinese medicine practitioner to regulate the functions of the body based on our constitution. Avoid taking aphrodisiacs unnecessarily.

3. Make sure there is an interval between each sexual intercourse
Having intercourse too frequently may reduce sperm count, but not having intercourse actively would also reduce the sperms’ activity. Two to three times a week and the day after ovulation would be the best. Besides maintaining the activity of the sperms and their quality, anyone experiencing exhaustion, excessive sweating, dizziness, headache, soreness on the waist, and tinnitus should also make adjustments accordingly.
