Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Please ask, when is it necessary to have an amniocentesis?Doctor's answer:
In the late stage of pregnancy, amniocentesis can determine blood type, bilirubin, lecithin, sphingomyelin, placental lactogen, and other factors to assess whether there is maternal-fetal blood type incompatibility, hemolysis, fetal lung maturity, skin maturity, placental function, etc. The optimal time for amniocentesis to extract amniotic fluid is between 16 and 20 weeks of pregnancy. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects a woman's life but can also lead to the development of gynecological conditions. Therefore, it is best to undergo an ultrasound examination at the gynecology department of the hospital to identify the cause and receive symptomatic treatment. Additionally, pay close attention to personal hygiene and maintain cleanliness in the perineal area.
