Patient's question:
Had a child suspected of having a genetic metabolic disease (Mensu not diagnosed), what tests should be done for another pregnancy? Should pre-pregnancy testing be done or screening after pregnancy?Currently, we want to have another child and need to know what tests are required. We consulted the gynecology department at the local hospital, and the doctor recommended screening after pregnancy. Is this feasible?
Doctor's answer:
This generally involves taking folic acid, which can reduce the risk of birth defects. You need to prepare for pregnancy and undergo systematic examinations during the third and fourth months of pregnancy to rule out any diseases.
