Patient's question:
September 10thDoctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Hello, the triple screen is a test that assesses the likelihood of having a 21-trisomy, 18-trisomy, or neural tube defect, rather than a test that definitively confirms the presence of these three conditions. Therefore, your current risk for Down syndrome is 1/74, indicating that there is a 1 in 74 chance that the fetus may have congenital anomalies associated with 21-trisomy syndrome.Advice:
1. Down syndrome is a congenital form of mental retardation, where individuals are unable to take care of themselves. If the child is born, it will place a heavy burden on the family.
2. For high-risk results, it is generally recommended to undergo amniocentesis to check the fetus's DNA for further confirmation of whether the child truly has the aforementioned conditions.
