Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Is it normal for the lower abdomen not to be swollen or painful in the early stages of pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Hello, generally, an early pregnancy test can be done around day 35 of a missed period, or a blood HCG test can be taken 10 days after intercourse to confirm pregnancy. After becoming pregnant, it is important to rest and maintain proper nutrition, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Regular prenatal check-ups, such as ultrasound for fetal anomaly screening and Down syndrome screening, should be performed.Hello, if you want to determine the gender of the fetus, it can be confirmed through an ultrasound examination around the fourth month of pregnancy. However, it is important to note that doctors are now prohibited from disclosing this information. If you still want to know the gender of the fetus, you can ask a friend or a doctor you know to perform the examination and confirmation. Wishing you well.
