Dr. Zhao Xiaodong
The preconception and prenatal care examination program is diverse and comprehensive, mainly including the following categories:
1. Routine examinations: Such as physical examination, gynecological examination, and male examination.
2. Infectious disease screening: Including hepatitis B, hepatitis C, syphilis, AIDS, etc. These diseases are infectious and may affect maternal and child health.
3. Immune and genetic testing: Such as TORCH screening (toxoplasma, cytomegalovirus, rubella virus, herpes simplex virus, etc.), and chromosome abnormality testing to assess the risk of hereditary diseases.
4. Biochemical tests: Including complete blood count, routine urine test, liver and kidney function, blood glucose, and thyroid function to understand the body's general health status.
5. Other specialized examinations: Such as gynecological endocrine tests (for women with menstrual disorders or infertility), and dental examinations (for women of childbearing age with dental damage).
