Eugenic counseling means that doctors or other professionals answer questions raised by patients with genetic diseases or congenital malformations or their relatives about the etiology, genetic mode, diagnosis, prevention and treatment, and the risk rate of recurrence of diseases of their relatives' children, and give advice and guidance to patients and their relatives on marriage and childbirth, so as to control some unfavorable factors and prevent fetal dysplasia, thus achieving the purpose of eugenics.
The contents of eugenic counseling are as follows:
(1) Pre-marital consultation: General health examination and genital examination are conducted for men and women who are about to get married, asking about their medical history, whether they have a family history of genetic diseases and congenital diseases, etc. , understand whether the situation of both parties is suitable for marriage and childbirth, and give guidance on marriage and childbirth. If both men and women are close relatives, they should stop getting married, and those who suffer from serious genetic diseases, serious mental retardation and other diseases should be discouraged. Some patients with diseases are not suitable for marriage for the time being. For some patients with diseases, doctors should mobilize to be sterilized before marriage.
(2) Pre-pregnancy counseling In order to ensure the health of mother and baby during pregnancy, it is necessary to choose the best childbearing age and arrange the best pregnancy opportunity. In addition to the mother's age and pre-pregnancy health factors, some adverse environmental factors will also affect pregnancy, so it is necessary to consult before pregnancy to take necessary measures, such as the woman suffering from certain chronic diseases or tumors, long-term exposure to toxic and harmful substances, and a history of virus infection. If you don't do it before pregnancy, it will be extremely unfavorable for eugenics.
(3) Pregnancy counseling should start from the first trimester. If there are indications, prenatal diagnosis should be made in the early or middle pregnancy, so as to terminate the pregnancy in time when fetal abnormality is found. The most common contents of pregnancy counseling are: counseling for those with abnormal pregnancy history, such as habitual abortion history, stillbirth history, abnormal fetal delivery history, etc. Consultation on the history of morning sickness or adverse contact, such as severe refusal to eat, vomiting, threatened abortion during pregnancy, morning sickness, medication or other adverse contact history, fever and low fever during pregnancy, and pregnancy caused by contraceptive failure. Pregnant women should receive pregnancy guidance from the first trimester, and deal with the problems found in time to prevent serious pregnancy complications or abnormal fetal development, which is beneficial to the health of mother and baby.
