What are the pre-pregnancy check-ups?

Out of consideration for their children's health, most parents go back to the hospital for some routine check-ups before having a child. If they do not meet the requirements, they will go home for some conditioning. Parents can be said to have made sufficient preparations for their children's health. Next, we will introduce some routine pre-pregnancy examinations.

1. Routine blood test (blood type): Early detection of blood system diseases such as anemia, because if the mother is anemic, not only will complications such as postpartum hemorrhage and puerperal infection occur, but it will also affect the baby and bring a series of effects to the baby, such as susceptibility to infection, decreased resistance, and delayed growth and development.

2. Urinalysis: helps in early diagnosis of kidney disease. The ten-month pregnancy is a huge test for the mother's kidney system. The increased metabolism of the body will increase the burden on the kidneys. If there is kidney disease, the consequences can be very serious.

3. Routine stool examination: Diagnosis of digestive system diseases and parasitic infections, such as Toxoplasma gondii infection, which, if not detected early, can cause serious consequences such as miscarriage and fetal malformation.

4. Liver function (two pairs and a half): diagnosis of various types of hepatitis and liver damage. If the mother is a viral hepatitis patient and it is not discovered in time, it will cause very serious consequences after pregnancy, such as premature birth or even neonatal death. Hepatitis virus can also be transmitted vertically to children.

5. Chest X-ray: diagnosis of lung diseases such as tuberculosis. When women with tuberculosis become pregnant, their treatment medications will be restricted and their treatment will be affected. Moreover, active tuberculosis is often aggravated by postpartum fatigue and there is a risk of transmission to the child.

6. Full set of gynecological endocrinology: diagnosis of ovarian diseases such as irregular menstruation. For example, women with ovarian tumors, even if the tumor is benign, often have an enlarged uterus after pregnancy, which affects the observation of the tumor and may even lead to risks such as miscarriage and premature birth.

7. Routine examination of leucorrhea: Screening for infection with Trichomonas, fungi, and bacteria. If you have a sexually transmitted disease, it is best to treat it thoroughly before getting pregnant. Otherwise, it may cause risks such as miscarriage, premature birth, and premature rupture of membranes.

8. Chromosome testing: Early detection of genetic diseases and infertility such as Klinefelter syndrome and Turner syndrome.

9. General physical examination: General physical examination and fertility assessment.

The above are some routine examinations before pregnancy. I hope that couples can do some relevant examinations before having children, which will be of great benefit to the children. In fact, routine pre-pregnancy check-ups are now very common. All parents are thinking about their children and have already considered it before it occurs.
