Pregnant, which physical examination items cannot be done

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Except for chest X-rays (which cannot be done because they require X-ray exposure), everything else can be done. Additionally, during pregnancy check-ups, liver function tests (two items), hepatitis B surface antigen and antibody tests, blood routine tests, and urine routine tests are also required. Gynecological examinations (including cervical smear pathology tests) and color Doppler ultrasound (liver, gallbladder, spleen, bilateral kidneys, uterus, and adnexa) as well as electrocardiograms are also necessary.
