At 41, what should be paid attention to during pregnancy?

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 sensitive to cold. What should I pay attention to when getting pregnant at 41?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, generally you can do an early pregnancy test around day 35 of your missed period or have a blood HCG test 10 days after intercourse to confirm pregnancy. After becoming pregnant, it is important to rest and maintain good nutrition, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Regular prenatal check-ups, such as ultrasound for fetal anomaly screening and Down syndrome screening, should be done. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects the patient's life but can also lead to further gynecological issues. Therefore, it is best to visit the gynecology department of a hospital for a vaginal examination. Once the cause is identified, symptomatic treatment should be administered. In daily life, it is important to drink plenty of water and maintain good personal hygiene.
