Patient's question:
I want a doll, please ask what should I prepare before pregnancy? Does bruxism affect pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Hello:Obstetric Ultrasound
Regular obstetric ultrasound monitoring can detect amniotic fluid volume, placental position, placental maturity, and whether the fetus has any abnormalities. It can also determine if fetal development is consistent with the gestational age. Generally, an obstetric ultrasound is performed at 34 weeks of pregnancy, and another at 37–38 weeks.
Fetal Heart Monitoring
Fetal heart rate is regulated by the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. By tracing the instantaneous changes in fetal heart rate through signal recording, the resulting monitoring graph can reveal the fetal heart rate response during fetal movement and contractions, helping to assess whether the fetus is experiencing hypoxia in the womb. In normal pregnancies, fetal heart monitoring is conducted weekly starting from 37 weeks of pregnancy. If complications or comorbidities are present, it may begin as early as 28–30 weeks of pregnancy.
Glucose Tolerance Test
There are two main purposes for this test: one is to predict gestational hypertension, and the other is to evaluate placental function. The doctor uses a device to detect the radial artery of the pregnant woman, monitoring the arterial blood flow per minute, and then accurately measures various blood parameters, such as blood viscosity and microcirculatory changes. Based on these changes, the doctor can adjust treatment plans and observe the effectiveness of the therapy.
Placental Function Monitoring
By drawing blood from the pregnant woman’s ear, hormone levels can be detected to indirectly assess placental function.
The causes of bruxism include:
First, there may be parasites in the body. Parasites secrete harmful substances that affect the autonomic nervous system. During the day, when we are more conscious, we can control our behavior, but after falling asleep, we may unconsciously grind our teeth. After deworming, this condition should no longer occur.
Second,
