Patient's question:
My sister is going for a health check-up. She is pregnant, but she doesn't want to have a color ultrasound. Is a color ultrasound necessary for prenatal examinations?Doctor's answer:
Prenatal ultrasound is necessary. At a certain stage of pregnancy, it is necessary to have a prenatal ultrasound. Prenatal ultrasound can clearly see the specific growth and development of the baby inside the uterus, including the limbs and face of the baby, which can be clearly observed to check if the baby has cleft lip and palate or other deformities. However, it is not necessary to have an ultrasound during every prenatal check-up.
