Patient's question:
My friend is currently 6 months pregnant. During the ultrasound, it was found to be a boy. Could you please ask how a boy is displayed in an ultrasound?Doctor's answer:
This depends on how the physician who performed the ultrasound determined the child's gender, whether it is a boy or a girl. Generally, it can be determined by observing the genitalia. If the physician sees the scrotum of a boy, it confirms the child is a boy, and this determination cannot be changed—it is definite. However, if the child's position blocks the view of the genital area, then it cannot be confirmed. Ultrasound is only an imaging examination method and cannot guarantee 100% determination of the fetus's gender. Additionally, the country prohibits gender identification for non-medical purposes.
