Patient's question:
I had an ultrasound when I was about 40 weeks pregnant. The doctor said the fetal heartbeat was not clear and told me to come back for another ultrasound at 60 days. I'm worried that doing too many ultrasounds might not be good for the baby, so I was wondering if checking the pulse with traditional Chinese medicine might also reveal the condition.Doctor's answer:
Generally, after pregnancy is confirmed for the first time as an intrauterine pregnancy, one examination is performed. Then, monthly examinations are recommended three months later, and after 36 weeks of pregnancy, it is advised to have examinations every 1-2 weeks.Analyzing from the principle of ultrasound, B involves the transmission of ultrasound waves, which do not involve ionizing radiation or electromagnetic radiation. It is a form of sound wave transmission, and this sound wave poses no significant harm to human tissues. However, this does not mean that B examinations can be performed freely throughout the entire pregnancy without time and frequency restrictions.
