Patient's question:
I registered at Shijingshan Hospital, and the doctor there said that Shijingshan Hospital cannot perform the Down syndrome screening. He advised me to go to 301 Hospital instead. Could you please tell me if your hospital offers Down syndrome 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 the relevant tests. The main purpose of these tests is to check the development of the fetus's nervous system.Suggestions: However, it is best to have these tests done around the 16th week of pregnancy for more accurate results. The purpose of the triple screen test is to analyze the pregnant woman's blood to determine the risk level of the fetus developing Down syndrome. If the triple screen test results indicate a high risk of the fetus having Down syndrome, further diagnostic tests such as amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling should be conducted.
