Maternal examination required for elderly childbearing
With the development of modern medicine, more and more women choose to conceive and give birth at an advanced age. However, older pregnant women face more health risks, so it is particularly important to carry out a more comprehensive and close prenatal examination. In the following, we will elaborate on the prenatal examination required by the elderly childbirth from four aspects: gynecological examination, blood examination, ultrasound examination and other special examinations.
Gynecological examination
Gynecological examination is the basis of prenatal examination for elderly pregnant women. Through gynecological examination, we can know the condition of the uterus, accessories, vagina and other gynecological organs of pregnant women. In elderly pregnant women, common problems include uterine fibroids, endometriosis, etc. The nature and degree of gynecological diseases can be determined by means of B-ultrasound, hysteroscopy and other examinations.
In addition, gynecological examination can also check the condition of the cervix, including the length of the cervix, the degree of cervical relaxation, etc. Older pregnant women are often prone to cervical relaxation. If the cervical relaxation is high, measures should be taken in time to ensure the safety of the fetus.
In addition, gynecological examination can also check breast conditions, including breast lumps, secretions, etc. Breast examination is to exclude breast cancer and other diseases. Breast examination should be carried out regularly. Early detection and treatment of breast cancer can improve the cure rate.
Blood test
Older pregnant women need to carry out a series of blood tests to understand the blood situation of pregnant women and exclude the possibility of some diseases.
The first is blood group identification. Women need to check blood type during pregnancy to determine ABO blood type and Rh blood type. If the mother's blood type is Rh negative and the father's blood type is Rh positive, the pregnant woman may produce Rh negative antibodies during pregnancy. At this time, special attention should be paid to the level of Rh negative antibodies and the fetal situation.
The second is prenatal screening. Prenatal screening is to check the chromosome, gene, protein and other indicators in the maternal blood to determine whether the fetus has some hereditary diseases. The risk of chromosomal abnormalities in elderly pregnant women and fetal chromosomal abnormalities is high. Early diagnosis and treatment can be carried out through prenatal screening.
Finally, tuberculin test. Tuberculosis is a common infectious disease. It is extremely harmful to the health of the fetus if pregnant women suffer from tuberculosis. Therefore, elderly pregnant women need to conduct tuberculin test to exclude the possibility of tuberculosis.
Ultrasonic examination
Ultrasonography is one of the most common methods of prenatal examination for elderly pregnant women. The development of the fetus can be observed by ultrasound, including the growth of the fetus, organ development, amniotic fluid volume, placental condition, etc.
In older pregnant women, ultrasound can also be used to assess the risk of fetal chromosomal abnormalities. By examining the neck thickness, nasal bone, four chambers of the heart, spine and other indicators of the fetus, we can preliminarily assess whether there are chromosomal abnormalities in the fetus.
In addition, ultrasound can also assess the condition of the uterus, ovary, pelvic cavity and other conditions of pregnant women, and exclude the possibility of other diseases.
Other special inspection
In addition to gynecological examination, blood examination and ultrasound examination, older pregnant women may need other special examinations to ensure the safety of mother and baby.
For example, ECG examination can understand the heart function of pregnant women and exclude the possibility of heart disease. Pulmonary function examination can understand the respiratory function of pregnant women and exclude the possibility of lung disease. In addition, special examinations such as amniocentesis can also be carried out to further assess the health of the fetus.
How to ensure the safety of mother and baby
In order to ensure the safety of the elderly mothers and babies, we need various security measures.
The first is regular birth inspection. Older pregnant women need to carry out more comprehensive and close prenatal examination, timely detect and deal with pregnancy complications and problems, and ensure the safety of mother and baby.
The second is reasonable diet and rest. Older pregnant women need balanced nutrition, increase the intake of protein and vitamins, and reduce the intake of salt and oil. In addition, reasonable rest and proper exercise can also help ensure the health of pregnant women.
In addition, elderly pregnant women also need to follow the doctor's instructions, take pregnant women's vitamins and other drugs on time, regularly review various indicators, and pay close attention to the development of the fetus.
Finally, if pregnant women have special circumstances, such as diabetes, hypertension, etc., they need to be actively treated and controlled to ensure the safety of mothers and babies.
Summary
The obstetric examination required by the elderly childbirth mainly includes gynecological examination, blood examination, ultrasonic examination and other special examinations. Through these examinations, we can understand the physical condition of pregnant women and the development of the fetus, find and deal with problems in time, and ensure the safety of mothers and babies.
In order to ensure the safety of mothers and babies, the elderly pregnant women need to have regular prenatal examination, reasonable diet and rest, and follow the doctor's instructions and drug treatment to ensure the health of pregnant women and fetuses.
In a word, the elderly childbirth needs to carry out multiple aspects of prenatal inspection, find and deal with problems in a timely manner, and ensure the safety of mothers and babies through reasonable safeguard measures. In this way, the elderly pregnant women can spend their pregnancy in peace of mind and meet the birth of the baby smoothly.
