What is the principle of happy pulse in ancient Chinese medicine? Was it accurate in ancient times?

This principle is that after a woman is pregnant, her pulse condition will be different from that of ordinary people. Pulse slippery? In ancient times, the accuracy of pulse-taking should be around 80%. When we watch ancient TV dramas, there is always a physician who takes the pulse of the harem princess and then congratulates the emperor that it is the pulse of happiness. I didn't understand when I was young. I think these doctors are too powerful. I just put my hand on my wrist and knew that this woman was pregnant. Now, it seems that ancient Chinese medicine practitioners in China are really talented.

In fact, there are many pulse conditions related to pregnancy recorded in ancient medical books. There is such a record that when a woman is pregnant, her pulse condition will have a very obvious change, and her menstruation will temporarily stop, which means that her pulse condition will be different from the normal pulse condition. At this time, the pulse condition will present a slippery pulse condition, which is relatively stable as the saying goes. Although the beat is fast, it is not chaotic and particularly smooth.

But because everyone's situation is different and the human body structure is very complicated, special circumstances will always happen. In addition, this pulse condition does not necessarily only appear during pregnancy. Therefore, it must be a happy pulse to make a diagnosis only by observing the pulse condition, otherwise there is a certain risk. Especially in the first three months of pregnancy, it is still not accurate to judge whether you are pregnant just by taking your pulse. However, if it is three months pregnant and the fetus in the abdomen is also formed, the change of pulse condition will be more obvious at this time, and the accuracy of pulse taking will be improved a lot.

So we can't be fooled by costume dramas. The real Chinese medicine is definitely much more complicated than the drama. Because the doctor can't diagnose whether you are pregnant just by taking your pulse, he is bound to ask you some other physical conditions, especially when you are less than three months pregnant.
