Patient's question:
Pregnant for over a month and haven't had a thorough check-up yet, so I want to understand what items are generally included in early pregnancy tests.Doctor's answer:
Early pregnancy tests are usually performed through ultrasound after confirming pregnancy around 10 weeks. Detailed ultrasound examination of the yolk sac and embryonic stalk. Generally, it is best to conduct early pregnancy tests about 10 days after a missed period. It is recommended to avoid menstruation during the test. The best time for the test is 3-7 days after the menstrual period has ended. This is because common early pregnancy tests mainly include ultrasound examination, routine gynecological examination, cervical smear test, leukorrhea test, and gynecological speculum examination.Currently, it is recommended that during pregnancy, you pay attention to maintaining good nutrition, not only by eating but also by consuming more nutritious foods. Ultrasound can interfere with the fetus, so it should not be performed frequently. After becoming pregnant, it is best to minimize the number of ultrasounds.
