Patient's question:
I registered at Shijingshan Hospital, and the doctor there said that Shijingshan Hospital cannot perform the Down syndrome screening. They recommended going to 301 Hospital. Can your hospital perform the screening on weekends?Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Hello, generally speaking, as long as it is a Class III hospital, it usually offers this kind of examination. The main purpose is to check the development of the fetus's nervous system.Advice: However, it is best to do this around the 16th week of pregnancy for more accurate results. The purpose of the triple screen test is to determine the risk of the fetus having Down syndrome by analyzing the pregnant woman's blood. If the triple screen test results indicate a high risk of the fetus having Down syndrome, further confirmatory tests such as amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling should be conducted.
