Patient's question:
Every month, I go to the hospital for an ultrasound to check the baby's condition. However, the ultrasound is only superficial and cannot reveal the specific situation. It is said that many children now have Down syndrome. I wonder if I can have a 4D ultrasound at six months of pregnancy? Can it also detect if the child has any deformities or other diseases?Doctor's answer:
Women who become pregnant need irregular check-ups to conduct prenatal examinations. Ultrasound inspections are performed at the early stage, middle stage, and late stage of pregnancy. If you are concerned about congenital deformities in the fetus growing in the womb, you can now have a 4D color ultrasound examination at six months of pregnancy to predict how the fetus's growth and development may be deformed. The 4D color ultrasound examination is generally performed between 22 weeks and 26 weeks of pregnancy. The daily treatment for 4D color ultrasound patients mainly involves taking medication. Patients can take many oral medications, combined with various vitamins, and pay attention to regular routines and avoiding alcohol. We hope that 4D color ultrasound patients can recover as soon as possible! Thank you!
