“If you’re expecting the fruit of the womb, please don’t fast” – Doctor warns women

A medical doctor, identified as Dr. Abassi, has sparked widespread reactions online after advising women trying to conceive to avoid fasting.

In a video shared online, he urged women expecting the fruit of the womb to prioritise their reproductive health, explaining that fasting may interfere with reproductive hormones involved in ovulation, potentially affecting a woman’s chances of getting pregnant.

“If you are expecting the fruit of the womb, I’m begging you, please do not fast. As a woman, do not fast,” he said.

Explaining further, Dr. Abassi noted that the female body relies on specific hormones during ovulation to prepare and release eggs for fertilisation.

“When a woman is ovulating, she needs certain hormones. She needs FSH, follicle-stimulating hormone, that is what tells the ovary it’s about time for you to release the next egg.

She needs luteinizing hormone, prepping the egg that you are coming and that you should be ready for a sperm,” he added.
