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. How can I measure my fundal height myself?Doctor's answer:
Hello: The fundal height is the distance from the symphysis pubis to the top of the uterus and can be measured with a soft tape measure. At 12 weeks, it is 2-3 finger widths above the symphysis pubis. At 16 weeks, it is between the umbilicus and symphysis pubis. At 20 weeks, it is 18 (15.3-21.4) centimeters below the umbilicus.Hello, during the early stages of pregnancy, the uterus gradually increases in size, which may cause mild abdominal pain. It is recommended that you undergo a color Doppler ultrasound examination to confirm the fetal heartbeat and embryonic development.
Suggestions:
1. Maintain a calm mood and avoid tension and anxiety.
2. Wash the external genital area with warm water to keep it clean and dry.
