Patient's question:
After my ex-wife had her IUD removed, we used contraception for three months. My wife's menstrual cycle has been a bit irregular, and we also had some sexual activity during her period due to a lack of self-control. Now we are very worried about infertility. Please ask the doctor, what tests do we need to take to determine if we can get pregnant? How much will it cost approximately? Thank you.Previous Treatment and Effect: No relevant tests have been conducted yet.
Help Needed:
1. We have had multiple instances of sexual intercourse during menstruation after marriage for seven or eight years. Will this lead to infertility?
2. What specific tests are needed before pregnancy?
3. Can cleaning the vagina with sodium bicarbonate really increase the chances of having a boy?
4. Are there any recommended professional hospitals in Shenzhen?
Doctor's answer:
Our country currently offers free pre-pregnancy health and fertility screening programs, which typically include blood tests, thalassemia screening, four infectious disease tests, teratogen screening, urine tests, and pelvic ultrasound. While paid pre-pregnancy screening usually includes additional tests such as liver and kidney function tests, chromosomal tests, and oral exams. If you choose to pay for pre-pregnancy screening, the chromosomal test typically costs around 110 yuan. Chromosomal abnormalities in both partners are a significant cause of fetal birth defects. For couples with a family history of genetic disorders, pre-pregnancy chromosomal abnormality testing is an essential examination. The cost of a pre-pregnancy vaginal discharge test is approximately 60 yuan. This method involves collecting and examining a woman's vaginal discharge to determine if she has infections such as trichomoniasis, candidiasis, or mycoplasma/chlamydia. The cost of a pre-pregnancy hepatitis test is around 70 yuan. The price of a pre-pregnancy urine test is about 10 yuan, and it helps assess whether a woman's kidney function is healthy. The cost of a pre-pregnancy blood test is approximately 20 yuan. The cost of a pre-pregnancy sex hormone six-item test is about 400 yuan. The teratogen screening, also known as the "four pre-pregnancy health tests," typically costs around 300 yuan. The pre-pregnancy hemolysis test mainly includes blood type and hemolysis level tests, with a price of about 25 yuan.
