What kind of tests does the comprehensive ultrasound examination include and when should it be done?

Patient's question:

During pregnancy, it is always very uncomfortable, and morning sickness is also very severe. What check-up does the major anomaly scan involve, and when is the best time to do it?

Doctor's answer:

The best time to have a four-dimensional ultrasound is between the 5th and 8th months of pregnancy (20-28 weeks), as this period is when the fetus's limbs and major organs have fully developed, and the amniotic fluid is most suitable for fetal anomaly screening. However, due to individual differences among pregnant women, please consult your doctor to determine the specific timing according to medical advice. Generally, doctors recommend that patients with risk signs of prenatal examinations maintain personal hygiene and avoid sexual activity. Additionally, patients should create an environment conducive to emotional stability and stress relief. Wishing all patients a healthy delivery.
