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. Could you please tell me what tests are required during pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
During the first three months of pregnancy, an ultrasound examination should be performed. Subsequently, blood tests (complete blood count), urine tests, liver and kidney function tests, hepatitis B surface antigen and antibody, syphilis antibody, HIV antibody, and leukorrhea tests can be conducted.After three months of pregnancy, prenatal examinations should be conducted regularly, including measurements of fundal height, abdominal circumference, blood pressure, and fetal heart rate.
An ultrasound examination should be performed between weeks 20 and 24 of pregnancy.
A Down syndrome screening test should be conducted between weeks 12 and 15 of pregnancy.
A glucose screening test should be performed between weeks 24 and 28 of pregnancy.
