Patient's question:
I am taking Regulation Menstruation and Fertility Pills. If I get pregnant, will it be harmful to the child?Doctor's answer:
The early stage of pregnancy is the period when embryonic tissues differentiate to form various organs. During this time, embryonic cells are highly sensitive to various harmful factors. If exposed to a high dose of X-ray radiation during this period, it may lead to miscarriage, premature birth, congenital deformities in children, cerebral edema, microphthalmia, and other deformities, or even stillbirth. However, this is not absolute. Strict prenatal examinations are necessary during this condition. A Down syndrome screening should be conducted between weeks 14-19 of pregnancy, and a four-dimensional color Doppler ultrasound for fetal anomaly screening should be performed between weeks 22-26. If necessary, amniocentesis and umbilical cord blood analysis should be done between weeks 16-20 to clarify the baby's development inside the uterus. It is recommended to retain the baby and undergo regular prenatal examinations. If any abnormalities are detected in the baby, the pregnancy should be terminated promptly.
