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 how many ultrasounds are appropriate to do in the early stages of pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
During pregnancy, undergoing an ultrasound examination will not affect the fetus. Ultrasound is a type of high-frequency sound wave. Generally, the first ultrasound examination is performed at the hospital around 50 days after the menstrual period. If the menstrual cycle is regular, the gestational sac, primitive heart tube, and fetal bud can be observed. In your case, it may be due to qi and blood deficiency. Qi and blood deficiency often occurs in conditions such as anemia, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, after severe bleeding, or in women with excessive menstrual bleeding. Its main manifestations include both symptoms of qi deficiency and blood deficiency. When tonifying, it is advisable to use methods that invigorate qi, generate blood, replenish qi and blood, or tonify both qi and blood. It is recommended to use Shengquan Dabu Ointment for treatment.
