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 symptoms are checked during the 24-week prenatal ultrasound?Doctor's answer:
Down syndrome screening is used to identify children with Down syndrome, which is a common congenital fetal malformation often seen in clinical practice. Generally, we recommend performing the test between the 14th and 20th weeks of pregnancy. Based on your description, engaging in sexual activity three days after getting an IUD inserted is considered a bit too early. It is advisable to wait for one week of rest before considering sexual intercourse. The insertion of an IUD itself may cause abdominal discomfort symptoms that last for several days. For your specific situation, it is recommended to consult a gynecologist for an examination, as it is not advisable to take it lightly.
