Patient's question:
22 years old, divorced, and now 23, preparing to conceive this year. I originally thought that having a child would be fine without using contraception, but my mother-in-law said that nowadays, people emphasize eugenics and need to have medical check-ups at the hospital. I'd like to ask what the detailed items of eugenics check-ups are?Doctor's answer:
Five careful inspections for eugenics and healthy upbringing, also known as the teratogenic five, include careful inspections for toxoplasma, rubella virus, parvovirus, cytomegalovirus, and herpes simplex virus. These microorganisms can be transmitted to the fetus through the placenta, disrupting the growth and development of the fetus, and ultimately leading to miscarriage, premature birth, developmental abnormalities, or malformations. These relatively common and important intrauterine infectious factors are collectively evaluated as TORCH.
