Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? How long into pregnancy can one start taking folic acid?Doctor's answer:
Hello, generally, an early pregnancy test can be done around day 35 of a missed period, or a blood HCG test can be taken 10 days after intercourse to confirm pregnancy. After conception, it is important to rest and maintain proper nutrition, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Regular prenatal check-ups, such as ultrasound for fetal anomaly screening and Down syndrome screening, should be conducted. Simply add 9 months and 1 week (280 days) to the first day of your last menstrual period to determine the estimated due date. It is best to confirm the specific time. True delivery may occur within 2 weeks before or after the estimated due date. If your menstrual cycle is irregular, it is necessary to calculate based on a gynecological examination.
