Required examination before pregnancy
Before pregnancy, it is very necessary to conduct a series of examinations to ensure the physical condition of the mother and the health of the fetus. So, what inspections are necessary? The following is a detailed introduction from four aspects.
Basic check
Before pregnancy, some basic examinations must be carried out to understand the condition of the mother\’s body. These basic examinations include routine examinations such as height, weight, blood pressure, blood sugar, and blood lipids. Through these examinations, we can know whether the mother is healthy, whether there are chronic diseases or whether she carries certain genes inherited from her parents, etc.
Height and weight check
Height and weight are an essential part of the basic examination. Calculating the mother\’s BMI index through height and weight can determine whether the mother is overweight or underweight, and how much weight needs to be gained.
Routine examinations such as blood pressure, blood sugar, and blood lipids
Before pregnancy, various indicators of the body must be checked. Regular indicators such as blood pressure, blood sugar, and blood lipids need to be monitored carefully. If the mother has diseases that may affect the health of the fetus, treatment needs to be carried out in advance.
Gynecological examination
A gynecological examination must be performed before pregnancy. The examination focuses on lesions of the cervix, uterus, ovaries and other organs. At the same time, check the condition of the endometrium and breasts.
Cervical examination
Cervical examination is part of the gynecological examination and is used to check the condition of the cervix, including whether the cervix is tightly closed, whether there are scars and inflammation around the cervix, etc.
Uterus examination
Uterine examination mainly checks the size, position, shape, etc. of the uterus, as well as whether there are deformities, such as cervical deformity, bicornuate uterus, etc.
Breast examination
A breast exam is an important test to check the condition of your breasts. Before pregnancy, a breast examination must be performed, especially to see if there are any skin lesions, pimples, lumps and other problems around the nipple and areola.
Genetic counseling
Before becoming pregnant, parents need to undergo genetic counseling and check for the presence of genes that carry genetic diseases. Genetic counseling can help you understand whether your parents have genetic diseases or carry certain genes. If a genetic disease is found, you need to adjust your pregnancy plan more carefully.
Steps in genetic counseling
The specific steps of genetic counseling include the first meeting, genetic testing, result interpretation, and counseling review. If the genetic test results are normal, you can safely get pregnant. If there are certain genetic problems, it is recommended to carry out proper family planning under the guidance of a doctor.
Medical history examination
Before pregnancy, a medical history examination must be conducted to understand whether the mother has chronic diseases or allergic reactions, and whether she has received surgical treatment, etc.
Chronic medical history examination
Chronic medical history examination is mainly used to detect whether the mother has chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, and heart disease, and whether these chronic diseases have an impact on the health of the pregnancy.
Allergy history check
PassAn allergy history test is used to check whether the mother has an allergic reaction. During pregnancy, special attention needs to be paid to diet and contact with allergenic substances.
Surgical history examination
The surgical history examination is mainly used to understand whether the mother has received surgical treatment, whether there are any postoperative sequelae, etc. These conditions will have an impact on the health of the pregnancy and fetus.
Nutrition check
Pre-pregnancy nutritional examination mainly checks the mother\’s eating habits, including whether she is lacking certain nutrients and whether she has taken in too much fat, sugar, etc. Through nutritional examination, you can understand the mother\’s eating habits so that you can better plan your diet during pregnancy. In addition, good eating habits are also very beneficial to the health of the fetus.
Contents of nutritional examination
Nutritional examinations usually include dietary questionnaires, physical index examinations, nutrient testing, etc. Through these examinations, we can know whether the mother is deficient in certain nutrients, so we can adjust our eating habits in time to ensure a healthy pregnancy.
Summary
Before pregnancy, a comprehensive and comprehensive examination of the mother is carried out through basic examination, gynecological examination, genetic counseling, medical history examination and nutritional examination to understand the mother\’s condition and ensure the health of the fetus. Only with good health can we have hope and a beautiful life.
