How did ancient countries diagnose a woman s pregnancy?

In ancient times, unlike today, there were no advanced medical theories, advanced technology, and precise instruments and equipment. However, population reproduction is related to the spread of civilization and whether a nation has an inexhaustible driving force for development. Therefore, ancient people also continued to explore theories about pregnancy and increasing the population.

In general, there are clear signs that a woman is pregnant. In ancient China, the theory of traditional Chinese medicine was self-contained, and gradually formed "look, smell, ask, cut"**. Then it depends on the pulse to test whether a woman is pregnant.

As for ancient Europe, the legend has two ways. One is the smell of urine, and the urine of pregnant women is different from others in both color and smell, which is also a pattern found by Westerners over time. There is also a very miraculous method, which is to inject urine into the legs of African melons, as for what are the symptoms of a woman's pregnancy, it is not very clear now.

Ancient Egypt was to water women's urine on wheat seeds, if the seeds germinated, it proved that women were pregnant, ancient China was to check the pulse to confirm whether pregnant, and ancient Europe was determined by the taste of urine.

Generally, in ancient times, a woman was judged to be pregnant through traditional Chinese medicine. It is also possible to observe whether women's menstruation is coming in ancient times to determine whether a woman is pregnant.

In ancient times, people could not be as advanced as our medical technology today, and they could know whether they were pregnant with a pregnancy test stick or a B-ultrasound, and they could also accurately determine the sex of the fetus''Look, smell, ask, cut''The method to diagnose whether a woman is pregnant or not.

Traditional Chinese medicine can recognize the patient's symptoms and quickly prescribe the right medicine, even without the help of foreign medical equipment. Generally, to observe whether a woman is pregnant, it must be used''Cut''The method of taking the pulse.

In ancient times, Langzhong believed that a woman's menstrual period could be delayed by about two months to determine whether she was pregnant by checking her pulse. When the pulse is cut, the pulse can be felt fluently without stagnation, and the pulse rate seems to be a moving sign that is not counted. There are fingers''Like a disc bead-on''The sleek feeling is like a fetus walking.

Pregnant women are very different from ordinary people at this time. However, it should be noted that sick women can also have symptoms of slippery pulses, so when determining whether they are pregnant, they also have to look at whether the person taking the pulse is sick to determine whether it is a true happy pulse. The pulse can also measure the sex of the fetus, the pulse is a boy for a long time, and a girl is late, I admire how Lang Zhong knew so much at that time.

If you are a royal physician in the royal family, it will be even more divine. It's okay to see the emperor, but it will be a little difficult to see the lady and the princess, after all, at that time, men and women were not able to accept it, and the imperial doctors had to ask the eunuchs about various conditions in order to be able to diagnose various diseases more accurately, such as complexion, urine, diet, and illness. If you encounter a pregnant girl, you should be more careful and make no mistakes.

However, the suspensory filament diagnosis pulse that often appears in some film and television works is actually rarely mentioned in history, because this method is difficult to determine the disease, and no one wants to see the best period of delay, so in ancient times, whether it was to see the happy pulse or the doctor, the doctor had to come to diagnose the pulse in person.

When a woman has a normal menstrual cycle, if the menstrual period exceeds the original menstrual cycle time by more than a week from the previous menstrual period, that is, the first day of the last menstrual period, it is considered that there is a possibility of pregnancy. If you have a history of menopause, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a urine pregnancy test or a blood HCG test to determine whether you are pregnant. However, after the pregnancy is confirmed by urine test and blood test, it is still not possible to determine whether it is an intrauterine pregnancy, that is, ectopic pregnancy cannot be ruled out, so ultrasound examination is also done.

Only when the presence of a fetal sac in the uterine cavity and the fetal heart beat are seen by ultrasound can the intrauterine pregnancy be determined and an ectopic pregnancy is ruled out. It can also be judged whether it is also a viable fetus, because the proportion of embryonic termination is relatively high, so only when the fetal heart beat is seen can the embryo be confirmed to be normal.

Traditional Chinese medicine has been circulating in our China for thousands of years, although Western medicine is becoming more and more popular, but many incurable diseases need to seek help from traditional Chinese medicine to be able to get **. In addition to taking the pulse, TCM will also ask the woman about her current living status, whether she has dizziness, drowsiness, morning sickness, menopause and other phenomena, which are all signs of pregnancy. In addition, TCM will also observe the changes in a woman's breasts, and a woman's breasts will gradually become larger after pregnancy, which can increase to two to three times the previous size.

Ancient people generally took the pulse and knew whether a woman was pregnant or not.

According to the fluctuation of the pulse, generally speaking, the pulse is thin and fast and has a sense of fluctuation.

In ancient times, a woman's pregnancy must depend on whether her belly is big or not.

If you have some typical pregnancy symptoms, such as drowsiness, vomiting, etc., seek a TCM to check your pulse.

In ancient times, it could only be based on the number of times the aunt came, and if it was postponed, it would mean that there was.

Basically, I guess I know it through morning sickness or not having menstruation.

The ancients would hang the filament to diagnose the pulse, and it felt more mysterious when it looked at it.

On TV, it's basically in the form of taking the pulse through this doctor.

It must be a pulse, aren't the doctors in the TV series all judging by touching the pulse?

The initial symptoms are noticed by the woman herself by feeling or depending on her own physiology.

1.Stopped menstruation This is the most common sign of pregnancy that people notice, as long as it is a woman of childbearing age, menstruation is normal, and it is possible to be pregnant if she exceeds her normal menstrual period for two weeks after sex.

But it is not that menstruation does not come or it means that you are pregnant, there are many reasons why menstruation does not come, it may be because of poor ovarian function, it may be because of abnormal hormone secretion, and you are busy with work. Lu, the exam is tense .....and so on, all of which can cause the phenomenon of late menstruation.

Therefore, it is best to go through a doctor's diagnosis to be the safest.

Regardless of ancient or modern times, the symptoms of pregnancy are generally the same, and early pregnancy reactions, such as vomiting, changes in taste, and sudden desire to eat sour things in the early stages of pregnancy, are called "bad joy". In ancient times, joy was an important feature of pregnancy, and in many costume film and television dramas, as long as a woman vomited, the first reaction of the people around her was "happy". But in fact, eating too much greasy things can cause gastrointestinal discomfort and this symptom will also occur.

It is similar to the way of modern discovery, one is the doctor's diagnosis, we often see the doctor diagnose the girl's pulse, and then judge whether she suspects, it should be that the pulse of the pregnant person is different from usual, and most of the pregnant people have similar pulses, secondly, it is the menstrual period, if there is no menstrual period for a long time, then the girl will also find out whether she is pregnant.

Ancient Europe: Smell the smell of urine.

In the same way, a woman's urine is used as a judge, but in ancient Europe, a woman's pregnancy was determined by smelling.

They believe that pregnant women's urine will be darker in color and stronger in taste than others. This is the "experience" they have accumulated over the years, so for quite some time they have been considered "accurate".

However, due to the differences in individual physique, living environment and living habits between regions, coupled with the influence of other diseases, this method is actually inaccurate, and the misdiagnosis rate is quite high.

Fortunately, Western medicine has continued to develop, and the methods of diagnosing pregnancy have become more and more accurate.

I have to say that there will be some exaggeration in the TV series, but there is also a happy pulse in real life, but it cannot be 100% accurate. Because changes in pulse beats are also likely to be related to the disease. The principle is that the ancient doctors knew that when they were pregnant, the pulse would be different from the usual beating, and they would obviously feel that there were signs of slippery pulses in the pulse, and the imperial doctors would be able to judge that it was probably a happy pulse.

After that, the doctor will ask if there is any physical discomfort recently, whether there is any menopause, etc., and if so, the doctor will boldly say that it is a happy pulse.

The human body has a slippery pulse, also known as the happy pulse, which will show a regular beating during pregnancy, and after years of observation and verification, this beating pattern has become the standard for Chinese medicine to judge whether to be pregnant.

Pregnant women's urine will be darker in color and stronger in taste than others. This is the "experience" they have accumulated over the years, so for quite some time they have been considered "accurate".

Slippery veins. Press it fluently, sleek as a ball. It is more common in young adults who are full of qi and blood. Slippery pulse in pregnant women is a phenomenon of vigorous qi and blood to nourish the fetus. All are physiological phenomena.

Slippery vein [pulse characteristics] fluent back and forth, such as a disc bead, should refer to smooth, there is a feeling of whirling forward between the exchanges, which can be understood as fluent pulse. (When cutting the pulse, you can feel the pulse beating fluently but not sluggish, and the pulse rate seems to be a moving image of several flying numbers.) There is a sleek feeling of "like a disc bead" under the finger).

Similar vein artery: the pulse is strong and the pulse is strong, and the finger should beat like a bean, but the pulse part is shorter than the slippery pulse, so the cloud is "as big as a bean, and the syncope is shaken". The main disease is the main shock, the main pain. Because the pain is not in harmony with yin and yang, the qi is blood obstruction, and the shock is the qi and blood disorder, and the pulse is restless, so the arteries are seen.

In ancient times, unlike today, there were no advanced medical theories, superb technology, and precise instruments and equipment. However, population reproduction is related to the spread of civilization and whether a nation has an inexhaustible driving force for development. Therefore, ancient people also continued to explore theories about pregnancy and increasing the population.

In general, there are obvious signs that a woman is pregnant.

In ancient ChinaThe theory of traditional Chinese medicine is self-contained, and gradually formed the ** of "looking, smelling, asking, and cutting". Then it depends on the pulse to test whether a woman is pregnant. In the cognition of the ancients, the human body has a happy pulse when pregnant, and it has its own unique beating law, and over time, Chinese medicine summarizes this law, and it can also be consistent with the expected result of pregnancy.

However, slippery pulses are also related to physical illnessOnly the absence of disease and the presence of a slippery pulse can indicate pregnancy.

As for ancient Europe, the legend has two ways. One is the smell of urine, and the urine of pregnant women is different from others in both color and smell, which is also a pattern found by Westerners over time. Another amazing method is to inject urine into the legs of African guavans, and it is not very clear what are the symptoms of a woman's pregnancy.

There are also films and television dramas that often appear"Pulse diagnosis of suspensory filament".Now it seems that there is an exaggeration. The amplitude and frequency of the pulse are not large, and it is impossible to diagnose anything by checking the pulse through the line. Most of the doctors ask about the physical condition of the intimate maid Niangniang around Niangniang, such as whether she vomits, drowsiness, what her appetite is, whether she likes to eat sour or spicy, when the room is round, and so on.

Of course, the imperial doctor will give them gifts, so at a glance, the credibility of the "suspensory diagnostic pulse" is very small.

In ancient times, it was generally seen by traditional Chinese medicine, and there was no saying that B ultrasound was tested, so it was generally known whether she was pregnant by taking the pulse, and it was still more reliable for Chinese medicine to take the pulse.

In ancient times, whether a woman was pregnant or not was diagnosed by the imperial doctor, which is still used in the medical field in modern times, so it is scientific and reliable.

In ancient times, most of them were diagnosed with pulses or some common pregnancy phenomena to judge a woman's pregnancy, and the ancient diagnosis of pulses should be quite reliable.

In ancient times, there was no such developed level of modern medical skills, and they usually judged whether they were pregnant through the diagnosis of the imperial doctor, which was also very reliable at that time.

First of all, most of them are judged by the changes in the woman's own body, and some are accurately known through the judgment of doctors, for example, in ancient China, it was determined through traditional Chinese medicine.

In ancient times, judging a woman's pregnancy was based on the imperial doctor's visit, smell, and inquiry, and judging whether a woman is pregnant through the pulse is very scientific and reliable.

Diagnosing the pulse is relatively scientific, and the happy pulse handed down by the ancient ** is called "slippery pulse", that is, there is a slight pulse after the strong pulse appears, and there is such a pulse that is pregnant.

Most of the ancient people in ancient times used to check the pulse, such as Egypt to see if the urine of a pregnant woman will make the seeds germinate, and Europe to smell the smell of urine to determine whether they are pregnant.

Generally, it is to see whether menstruation is delayed, and then it is to see whether a person's taste habits have changed greatly, whether there is a pregnancy reaction, and finally the diagnosis of traditional Chinese medicine.

In ancient China, it was generally through the sight, smell, and inquiring through traditional Chinese medicine, and it was a very effective method to check the pulse; In some European countries, it is inferred from changes in urine.

Nowadays, technology is very developed, pregnancy tests can be completed at home, only a small pregnancy test stick, you can know whether you are pregnant, which is simple and convenient, and protects our privacy very well. So going back to ancient times, there was no technology at that time, what kind of pregnancy test did ancient women have to pass?

1. Traditional Chinese medicine takes the pulse.

This method should be known to everyone, and it is often seen in TV dramas that traditional Chinese medicine takes the pulse, because pregnant women, they will have an extra happy pulse, so the doctor will judge whether a woman is pregnant through this happy pulse. Of course, there are also errors in this method, usually if a woman is menstruating, she will also give birth to a happy pulse, but the pulse will be weaker. If you meet an unprofessional doctor, it is likely to make you happy.

2. Bad joy.

From ancient times to the present, the symptoms of a woman's pregnancy are the same, dizziness and vomiting, which was called joy in ancient times. So in ancient times, when a woman showed symptoms of bad joy, the old man would think that the woman was pregnant. To this day, we often see on TV that women suddenly vomit and want to eat sour, and the first reaction of the people around them is whether they are pregnant.

Therefore, "bad joy" was a very important sign of pregnancy in ancient times.

3. Menopause.

Pregnant women will stop menstruating, so in ancient times, as long as the aunt did not come this month, it was basically possible to judge that you were pregnant, and you would be especially cautious. Even now, many women are gradually realizing that they are pregnant because of menopause.

4. Look at the urine.

It is said that in the Middle Ages, when doctors in European countries looked at the urine of pregnant women to determine whether they were pregnant, they mainly looked at the color of the urine, and some even tasted the taste of the urine.

5. Seed pregnancy test.

This method first appeared in ancient Egypt, where you just had to urinate on the seeds of wheat and barley, and then observe for a period of time, if one of the seeds germinated, it means that you are pregnant. This method was later shown to be 70% accurate.
