Patient's question:
My wife and I both meet the national pre-natal health standards. Now we are preparing for a thorough pre-marital examination. It is said that the methods for pre-natal health examinations are different. What are the items included in pre-natal health examinations?Doctor's answer:
Pre-pregnancy check-up items, in addition to general physical examinations, should also include blood and urine tests, hepatitis B surface antigen, and tests for many special pathogens. Areas with the necessary conditions should implement chromosome tests to prevent hereditary diseases. Many special pathogens that require careful examination include toxoplasma, rubella virus, cytomegalovirus, and herpes simplex virus, collectively known as TORCH. It is important to maintain adequate rest at all times.
