Medical methods and guidance to know the sex of the fetus

Radial imaging
The detection of fetal sex in the first trimester of pregnancy is secondary, that is, it can be done without being the basis of this medical survey.
- Determination of the sex of the fetus in the first trimester is done by careful examination of the female reproductive bulb, and in terms of embryonic development, this reproductive bud begins to form and differentiate towards the ninth week of menopause.
- At present, the sex of the fetus should not be determined by the study of the female buds prior to the twelfth week of menopause, because the error value is up to 40 percent. This means that the probability of success in the diagnosis is only slightly higher than the coincidence of any male or female.
Ruling on genital warts
As of the twelfth week of the menstrual period, it is possible to briefly determine the sex of the fetus according to the shape of the female bud according to the following characteristics:
- At the female fetus the female bud moves downward to take a horizontal position.
- At the male fetus, the female bud moves forward to take a semi-horizontal position.
- It is preferable that the examiner be careful in his work, especially when he has sufficient time, in order to determine the angle formed between the two rectangles. The first is a touch of the lumbar sacral surface of the fetus and the second is a touch of the ventral surface of the reproductive bud. The measurement of this angle should be carried out on the fetus On an average longitudinal section without any deviation, otherwise the error in determining fetal sex will increase.
- In the case where the two previous rectangles are parallel and do not meet, the sex of the fetus is probably female, and the percentage of error in determining the sex of the fetus in this case is estimated at 0.9% and 3%. In all studies the error rate of diagnosis is higher when the examiner suggests that the fetus is female.
- In the case where the previous two intersections intersect with an angle greater than 30 ° C, the sex of the fetus is probably male, and the probability of error in this case is estimated at 0.2%.
