Patient's question:
Currently, the general situation is: preparing to get pregnant in the second half of the year. I would like to know what preparations need to be made before pregnancy? What gynecological examinations are recommended? What should my husband pay attention to? What tests should he take? Medical history and treatment outcomes: My physical health is not very good, my immunity is weak, and I get sick easily. I would like to know if I need to supplement anything before pregnancy? For example, folic acid? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
