Patient's question:
I had my last menstrual period on July 14th, and now I'm 21 weeks and 2 days pregnant. This Monday (December 6th), I went to the hospital for the Down syndrome screening. However, online says it can't be done after 20 weeks. So, how accurate is the result I got? Is it necessary to do this test after the time limit? Recently, due to the weather changes, my nose has been stuffy with allergic rhinitis, runny nose, and nasal congestion. Will it affect the fetus? Anemia, allergic rhinitisDoctor's answer:
Down syndrome screening is performed around the fifth month of pregnancy. In addition to timely treatment for Down syndrome, patients need to consult experts frequently and maintain communication with doctors. Patients should also pay attention to nursing aspects, such as maintaining a light diet and engaging in regular outdoor exercise. At the same time, patients should choose a reputable hospital for diagnosis and treatment to achieve good therapeutic effects.
