Smelled musk in early pregnancy

When a woman is pregnant, she needs to pay attention to all aspects of life. In particular, you should pay attention to some issues that can easily lead to miscarriage. For example, women should not smell musk during pregnancy because the special fragrance of musk can stimulate the female uterus and cause miscarriage. A small number of women have miscarriages due to accidentally smelling musk without paying attention, but what should you do if you accidentally smell musk in the early stages of pregnancy?

Will smelling musk in early pregnancy cause miscarriage?

Musk contains musk ketone, which is volatile. The uterus is particularly sensitive during pregnancy, and long-term contact of musk with the skin of pregnant women can stimulate uterine contractions and cause miscarriage. In particular, some pregnant women are sensitive to musk, and short-term skin contact with musk may cause miscarriage. Pregnant women with sensitive constitutions are advised to avoid contact with musk, whether it is natural or artificial.

Natural musk is the secretion of the glandular sac between the navel and genitals of male musk deer. After drying, it is both a precious spice and a precious medicinal material. In addition to promoting blood circulation and relieving pain, unblocking meridians, opening up the orifices and refreshing the mind, it can also be used to induce labor. Artificial musk is a kind of medicine and pharmaceutical ingredient that can replace natural musk. The musk we come into contact with in daily life is usually artificial musk.

The medicinal properties of natural musk are quite strong and can indeed cause miscarriage in pregnant women. However, almost all the musk we see in daily life now is artificial. Although it can have adverse effects on pregnant women, it is not as serious as shown in TV dramas, and it will not cause miscarriage immediately after smelling it. Generally speaking, only pregnant women who are immersed in the scent of musk for a long time will have the chance of inducing miscarriage. Occasionally smelling musk perfume or musk ointment will not cause miscarriage, but pregnant women are advised not to smell it.

For women of childbearing age who are in good health and physical condition, long-term exposure to musk may also cause infertility. But pregnant women don't need to worry too much. If you are not exposed to musk for a long time due to work, do not need perfume every day during pregnancy, or do not apply musk ointment for a long time during pregnancy, accidental contact of musk with the skin will not pose a threat to the fetus.

What items contain musk

Many daily necessities contain musk. For the healthy development and growth of the fetus, pregnant women should stay away from the following daily necessities.

1. External use of plaster for traumatic injuries. Musk is pungent and warm in nature, and has the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. It can be used to treat rheumatism, heart disease, and trauma. However, musk is generally contained in external trauma ointments and can be used to induce abortion and induce labor. If the elderly have the habit of applying ointments for bruises, or if someone in your family has a sprain and has to apply ointment, it is recommended that you use ointment that does not contain musk. As a last resort, pregnant women are advised to consider temporarily moving to other relatives' homes.

2. Perfume. Musk has a special fragrance, and many girls often ask whether musk is included in the perfume ingredients when buying perfume. Many perfumes contain musk, so pregnant women or women planning to become pregnant are advised to avoid it if possible. Because except for musk, most spices have the effect of regulating qi and promoting blood circulation, pregnant women should avoid contact with them if possible. Although miscarriage will not necessarily occur after contact, it is still necessary to prevent it.

3. Daily necessities such as wind oil, peppermint oil, foot bath powder, air fresheners, etc. will contain some musk to a greater or lesser extent. For the health of the fetus, pregnant women are advised to try not to use these things.
