Patient's question:
I'm preparing to accompany my wife for a prenatal examination. I'm wondering if having sexual intercourse will affect the examination. Can we have intercourse the day before the prenatal examination?Doctor's answer:
On the day before a prenatal examination, it is best to avoid sexual intercourse. A simple ultrasound examination has no impact, but a gynecological examination is not hygienic, so it is not recommended to have intercourse the day before the examination. During pregnancy, eat more foods high in calcium and iron to prevent anemia and calcium deficiency, which are beneficial for fetal growth and development. Immunity is low during pregnancy, making it easy to contract gynecological infections. Wash the external genitalia with warm water and pay attention to hygiene.
