Which is more accurate: a trace element test for pregnant women or a bone density test?

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially around my period days. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Which test is more accurate: a trace element test for pregnant women or a bone density test?

Doctor's answer:

Actually, strictly speaking, none of them are accurate. Currently, there is no authoritative reference value for testing trace elements, so the results of your two tests are very likely to be based on different reference values, which is why you have two different results. In fact, as long as the baby does not show obvious symptoms of deficiency, it is fine. According to the symptoms you mentioned, treatment should involve surgical removal combined with anti-inflammatory medication, traditional Chinese medicine regulation, and a diet that is light and free of spicy, stimulating, or greasy foods.
