Patient's question:
At 13 weeks of pregnancy, I had a non-invasive genetic test, and the result was low risk. Now I am 20 weeks pregnant. Do I still need to have an amniocentesis? Assistance sought: Please speculate how you might need an amniocentesis?Doctor's answer:
After undergoing prenatal screening for fetal Down syndrome, if the result is classified as high-risk, the expectant mother will be advised to undergo amniocentesis for confirmation. The results of the Down syndrome screening, whether high-risk or low-risk, cannot replace a definitive diagnosis, while a thorough amniocentesis examination will provide doctors with further confirmation. Obstetric patients can understand and follow the prescribed treatment while using folk remedies as supplementary therapy in daily life. Appropriate dietary habits should be maintained in daily meals to avoid stimulating foods.
