Is it still necessary to do a fetal heart color Doppler ultrasound after a 4D color Doppler ultrasound?

Patient's question:

At 21 weeks and 3 days, I went to a private hospital for a 4D ultrasound. The report only mentioned that the four chambers of the heart were normal. When I went to a large hospital for prenatal testing, the doctor asked if I wanted a fetal heart ultrasound. I said I had already had a 4D ultrasound. She said the fetus was too small at that time, and even if I did it, I wouldn't be able to see the heart valves or anything. She said a fetal heart ultrasound would be clearer and should be done around 26 weeks. She said she didn't believe a private hospital could thoroughly detect any problems. You know, should I do it if it's not necessary?

Doctor's answer:

It is recommended to do so. Private hospitals are all money-making scams. You should still proceed with it. It's best to get a card for future prenatal examinations. (Thorough checks should be conducted every month). Avoid changing hospitals frequently, as this is not good for prenatal examinations. The 4D color Doppler ultrasound shows a serious condition. It is advised that patients seek timely treatment based on the doctor's recommendations. At the same time, pay attention to dietary issues, avoid spicy foods to prevent worsening the condition. The above answers are hoped to assist you. Thank you.
