Patient's question:
I am 43 years old. Since my daughter was born in 1999, I haven't been able to get pregnant again. Before giving birth to my daughter, I had appendicitis. Because my daughter has a disease, I want to have another child. What tests do I need to take? Can I still have a child at my age?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to consult a doctor. Due to the advanced age, more attention should be paid compared to general pregnant women, and regular follow-up checks should be conducted during pregnancy. Nutritional intake should also be strengthened, avoiding raw, cold, spicy, and irritating foods. Drink plenty of water and engage in appropriate exercise. Rest more and avoid overexertion. Ensure sufficient sleep and maintain a pleasant mood. Generally, doctors will advise patients with signs of genetic risk to maintain personal hygiene and avoid sexual activity. Additionally, patients should create an environment conducive to emotional stability and stress relief. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
