Patient's question:
I saw many people online say that if you drop medical alcohol into a pregnant woman's morning urine and it turns red, it means she's carrying a boy, and if it doesn't change color, it means she's carrying a girl. Is this true? Does it have a scientific basis?Doctor's answer:
There is no scientific basis for determining the gender of the fetus through an ultrasound around 4 months. However, it depends on the position of the fetus. If the position is good, the result will be accurate, but do not rely too much on the judgment. The most direct method for determining the gender of the fetus is through an ultrasound, as it can clearly show the various organs and parts of the fetus, including the reproductive organs. However, according to the laws in our country, it is illegal to inform the pregnant woman about the gender of the fetus without authorization. Another method is amniocentesis, which involves a chromosome test.
