Patient's question:
Is it okay for the husband to do welding work during the pre-pregnancy period? Will it affect the fertilized egg?Doctor's answer:
Welding work has a certain impact on sperm development, but it does not absolutely lead to fetal malformations. It is necessary to strictly conduct prenatal examinations. Perform the Down syndrome screening between weeks 14-19 of pregnancy, and the 4D color Doppler ultrasound for fetal anomaly screening between weeks 22-26 of pregnancy. If necessary, perform amniocentesis and cord blood analysis between weeks 16-20 to clearly determine the baby's development inside the uterus.
