Dr. Patricia-Alexandra Mălușanu discusses pregnancy care

Dr. Patricia-Alexandra Mălușanu, an obstetrician-gynecologist at SANADOR, has provided medical guidance regarding pregnancy management and early detection of complications.

Key medical advice includes the importance of the first consultation following a positive pregnancy test to confirm an intrauterine pregnancy via ultrasound. Dr. Mălușanu noted that symptoms such as pelvic pain and minor bleeding can be indicators of an ectopic pregnancy, which requires medical attention.

The specialist also discussed prenatal screening, noting that genetic tests for chromosomal abnormalities, such as NIPT (non-invasive prenatal testing), can typically be performed during the first trimester. Additionally, she addressed common concerns regarding lifestyle, stating that pregnancy is not a disease and that most activities, including exercise and travel, are permissible. She also recommended the influenza vaccine for pregnant women to ensure protection.
