Patient's question:
I've been pregnant for more than five months. A while ago, when I had a thorough check-up, the doctor said I could try a 4D ultrasound. So, I wanted to ask, is the 4D ultrasound done on the abdomen?Doctor's answer:
4D ultrasound is a comprehensive screening for major anomalies. You are currently about five and a half months pregnant, and this stage is when this screening is required. It primarily involves a color Doppler ultrasound of the abdomen. Through this examination, it can be determined whether the fetus has developmental abnormalities, and it can also rule out congenital growth and development defects related to the heart. It is recommended to undergo regular prenatal check-ups, take calcium supplements, and maintain a balanced diet.If a patient faces difficulties with 4D ultrasound, we should actively adopt treatment measures and avoid delaying medical consultation. If the 4D ultrasound condition does not improve with treatment, it is important to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
