Patient's question:
I am pregnant. Every time I go for prenatal check-ups, I have to do a urine test. What is this test for? Why do I have to do a urine test every time for prenatal check-ups?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical diagnosis, pregnant women are usually required to have a blood test every month. During pregnancy, a woman's body is under considerable stress, so it is important to check blood counts monthly to monitor for any signs of infection or anemia. It is essential to get plenty of rest, eat a diet rich in high-quality protein and nutrients, and consume foods high in calcium. Regular prenatal check-ups should also be scheduled.
