Patient's question:
I am very scared when this happens. I often have lower abdominal pain and don't know how to solve it, so I came here to consult. Is it necessary to have a glucose screening test during prenatal check-ups?Doctor's answer:
Due to the high incidence of gestational diabetes, expectant mothers are recommended to undergo a diabetes screening test between the 24th and 28th weeks of pregnancy. Diabetes screening includes blood sugar screening and glucose tolerance screening. Generally, doctors advise patients with risk signs of prenatal examinations to maintain personal hygiene and avoid sexual activity. Additionally, patients should also pay attention to creating a comfortable environment, which is beneficial for rest. Wishing patients a healthy delivery.
