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'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. How many weeks does a pregnant woman go through in total?Doctor's answer:
The estimated due date is calculated from the first day of the last menstrual period, with the entire pregnancy lasting 280 days, or 10 gestational months (each gestational month being 28 days). Delivery between weeks 38 and 42 is considered full-term. Since every woman has a different menstrual cycle length, it is normal for the estimated due date to differ by 1-2 weeks from the actual due date. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects women's lives but can also lead to the development of gynecological conditions. Therefore, it is best to have a vaginal discharge test at the gynecology department of the hospital. After identifying the cause, symptomatic treatment should be administered. In daily life, attention should be paid to dietary regulation, consuming light and easily digestible foods, while avoiding spicy, irritating, and cold foods.
