1- Electrocardiogram (CTG):-
One of the most important services provided by Dr. Mohamed’s clinics is electrocardiogram (CTG), which we routinely perform for pregnant women starting in the last three months of pregnancy.
The fetal heartbeat usually ranges from 110 to 160 beats per minute, and the number of beats increases when the fetus moves.
Therefore, ensuring that the fetus’s heartbeat accelerates with movement is important
This test also shows and strongly affects uterine contractions and the fetal heartbeat, which gives important indicators before allowing birth.
The woman also undergoes a natural birth, and this test measures the strength of the uterine contractions and determines whether they are a real contraction or a false contraction.
Which women should mainly undergo this test?
1- Any pregnant woman does not feel the fetus moving inside her or her sense of fetal movement decreases at any time.
2- Pregnant women who suffer from placental diseases during pregnancy (placenta previa – low-lying placenta – calcified placenta).
3- Women who suffer from low amniotic fluid index around the fetus.
4- Pregnant with twins.
5- Women who suffer from high blood pressure and diabetes during pregnancy.
How is this test done?
Two tentacles are placed around the mother’s abdomen.
A probe to measure the fetal heartbeat
A probe to measure uterine contractions
The woman sits for 20 to 60 minutes as decided by Dr. Muhammad or the assistants.
Result of this test:
If the result is not reassuring, Dr. Muhammad may want to give the pregnant woman a group of sugars and perform the test in a different position, such as sleeping on the left side, or using sound or vibration stimulation of the fetus to do this. Pretty sure he’s not sleeping.
If the result remains negative, Dr. Muhammad performs a detailed ultrasound and Doppler examination of the fetus’s blood vessels and evaluates the entire fetal movement and breathing movements. This test is considered necessary in Dr. Muhammad’s clinics for all pregnant women to check on the fetus and intervene as quickly as possible to save the fetus from sudden fetal death. Inside the mother’s womb.
Dr. Muhammad uses CTG in all natural births and refuses any woman to give birth naturally without using this device, which monitors the health of the fetus throughout the birth period, and if the fetus appears affected at any moment, we will perform a cesarean section immediately.
Preparing for a Pap smear:
There are some instructions that a woman must do before performing a Pap smear so as not to affect the result:
Do not do vaginal douching or shower for 48 hours before the swab procedure.
Abstaining from marital relations 48 hours before the swab procedure.
Do not use any vaginal topical medications or any topical contraceptive method 48 hours before the swab procedure.
The Pap smear is performed on any day between the tenth and twentieth days from the beginning of the menstrual cycle in order to avoid the days of menstrual bleeding.
It does not take time to perform a Pap smear. During a vaginal examination of the pelvic area, the smear is taken quite easily within a few minutes.
Pap smear details:-
During the Pap smear procedure, the woman lies on her back with her knees bent and a speculum is inserted into the vagina, which is a small metal instrument that is inserted into the vagina so that the vaginal wall and cervix can be clearly seen.
Then a sample of cervical cells is taken using a wooden scraper, through which the cells are scraped from the cervix, then fixed on a glass slide and sent to the laboratory for examination under a microscope.
The Pap smear is not completely painful for the woman, so she may not feel anything, or feel a little pressure. She must be completely calm, take her breaths slowly, and completely relax the abdominal and legs area. There are no complications from it.
After examining the sample under a microscope, the result of the Pap test will appear.
The test result is negative or normal: it means that the cervical cells are normal in size and shape.
A positive or abnormal test means that the cervical cells are abnormal in shape and size. This does not necessarily mean the presence of a cancerous tumor.
In some cases, the result appears positive, but not due to cervical cancer. So you have to continue to find out the real reason.
The presence of infection in the cervix can cause a positive result, as is the case in cases of fungal infections, chlamydia, trichomonas, or gonorrhea, where the cervical cells become inflamed, and after treatment and re-scanning, the cervical cells appear normal again
