Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: I am 4 months pregnant and went to the hospital for a fetal electrocardiogram check. The doctor told me they couldn't get the results. They prescribed two boxes of medicine called "Yang Chang Su." I want to ask if there is a relationship between the inability to get the results and taking this medication? I also want to ask why the fetal electrocardiogram couldn't be performed. Under what circumstances is it impossible to get the fetal electrocardiogram?Doctor's answer:
This cannot be confirmed. It is recommended that you see a doctor, complete relevant tests for a definitive diagnosis, and then treat the cause of the fetal demise accordingly. There are many factors that can cause fetal demise, such as chromosomal abnormalities or gynecological diseases. It is advised that both partners undergo a health check-up. The tests include: gynecological internal examination, routine vaginal discharge test, cervical scraping, infrared breast examination, abdominal ultrasound (uterus + adnexa), routine urine test, complete blood count, hepatitis B surface antigen + hepatitis A and C antibody test, renal function, chest X-ray, electrocardiogram, complete toxoplasmosis screening (rubella, toxoplasmosis, syphilis), chromosomal abnormalities, internal medicine examination, and six sex hormone tests.
