How many weeks of pregnancy can an ultrasound reveal the gender?

Patient's question:

How many weeks into pregnancy can an ultrasound reveal the gender?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, generally, the gender of the fetus can be determined through ultrasound around 4 months, but it depends on the fetal position. If the position is good, the result will be accurate, but don't rely too much on the judgment. The most direct method for determining the gender of the fetus is ultrasound, as it can clearly show the various organs and parts of the fetus, including the genitalia. However, according to the laws in our country, it is illegal to inform the pregnant woman about the gender of the fetus without authorization. Another method is amniocentesis, which involves a chromosome examination.
