How is the gestational period 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 fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. How is the pregnancy time calculated?

Doctor's answer:

Hello: The number of pregnancy days and gestational weeks are calculated from the first day of the last menstrual period. 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 women'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 the hospital, identify the cause, and receive symptomatic treatment. Pay attention to dietary adjustments, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
