Patient's question:
I have mild cervical inflammation and used the topical medication Achromycin during the first month of pregnancy. Later, when I went to the hospital for a check-up, I found out that I was already pregnant. Can this child be kept?Doctor's answer:
Taking medication in the early stages of pregnancy can have a certain impact on the fetus, and the specific effects vary from person to person. The extent of the impact cannot be predicted at this time. If you want to retain the fetus, it is necessary to strictly follow prenatal check-ups. At weeks 14-19, undergo the Down syndrome screening, and at weeks 22-26, have a 4D ultrasound for prenatal anomaly detection. If necessary, at weeks 16-20, undergo amniocentesis and cord blood analysis to determine the baby's development inside the womb. It is recommended to retain the baby and undergo regular prenatal check-ups. If any abnormalities are detected in the baby, terminate the pregnancy promptly.
