How is the duration of pregnancy calculated?

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 my fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. How is the time of pregnancy calculated?

Doctor's answer:

Hello: The number of pregnancy days and gestational weeks are calculated from the first day of the last menstrual period. A full-term pregnancy is approximately 280 days (about 40 weeks). Delivery between 38 and 42 weeks of pregnancy is considered full-term. Delivering within two weeks before or after the due date is considered normal. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects a woman's health but can also lead to the development of gynecological conditions. Therefore, it is best to have a routine check-up in the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive symptomatic treatment. Pay attention to dietary regulation, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
