Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I've been feeling uncomfortable with my heart. Although I often take medication to control it, the effect isn't very noticeable. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they also prescribed medication. Can prenatal tests detect congenital heart disease?Doctor's answer:
Generally, a four-dimensional color Doppler ultrasound can be used to detect whether the fetus has congenital heart disease. It is necessary to have irregular prenatal check-ups at the hospital during pregnancy. The four-dimensional color Doppler ultrasound for major malformation screening can be done between 22 and 26 weeks. In your case, you can have another four-dimensional color Doppler ultrasound for fetal heart at 30 weeks.Three months before pregnancy, sexual activity is strictly prohibited. Maintain a light diet, pay attention to folic acid intake, enhance nutrition, avoid overtime work, and do not engage in strenuous exercise.
