(1) Couples should not take sleeping pills: Young couples of childbearing age often suffer from insomnia, fatigue, dizziness, dizziness and other symptoms due to work pressure and other reasons. For this reason, sleeping pills are often used to adjust, but this approach is very harmful to pregnancy.
Sleeping pills can damage the physiological and reproductive functions of both men and women. Such as diazepam, chlordiazepoxide, imipramine, etc., can all act on the diencephalon and affect the secretion of pituitary gonadotropins. Men taking sleeping pills can reduce testosterone production, leading to impotence, spermatorrhea and loss of sexual desire, thus affecting fertility. Women taking sleeping pills can affect the function of the hypothalamus, causing changes in sex hormone concentrations, manifesting as menstrual disorders or amenorrhea, and causing reproductive dysfunction, thereby affecting the ability to conceive and causing temporary infertility.
In order not to affect the fertility of both parties, couples who are preparing to become pregnant must not take sleeping pills. Once insomnia occurs, it is best to take appropriate rest, strengthen exercise, increase nutrition, adjust life patterns and other methods to solve the problem, and fundamentally strengthen the body. It is not reliable to take sleeping pills to improve symptoms.

For example, chloramphenicol can cause an imperfect fetal liver enzyme system and cause aplastic anemia; sulfonamide drugs can easily cause fetal jaundice when used in late pregnancy.
