Patient's question:
Before I was pregnant, I had a comprehensive gynecological examination. I would like to know what items are generally required? What are the fees at general municipal public hospitals?Doctor's answer:

In the early stages of pregnancy, a color Doppler ultrasound can be performed to confirm whether the gestational sac is inside the uterus and to rule out ectopic pregnancy. The following tests are generally recommended:Color Doppler Ultrasound: To rule out suspected pregnancy in the early stages. A second color Doppler ultrasound is performed around the 6th month to assess the child's development and check for any abnormalities.
