Patient's question:
Hello, I am 25 years old. Two days ago, I had a screening test for Down syndrome, and the result showed a 21-trisomy risk of 160, indicating a high risk. Would you recommend an amniocentesis cytogenetic test? What kind of help do you need: Please reply as soon as possible.Doctor's answer:
Hello, amniocentesis can help confirm fetal chromosomal genetic diseases, genetic diseases, metabolic diseases, open neural tube defects, etc., to increase the birth rate of children with defects. Hello, your results from the Down syndrome screening are high-risk, and you are qualified to undergo amniocentesis. Of course, this procedure also carries certain risks (such as amnionitis, miscarriage, etc.). If you choose not to do it, and the child is born with issues, it will be a great burden for the entire family and society. Therefore, it is recommended that you consider whether to proceed, and if you do, it is essential to have it performed by a doctor with over ten years of experience (such as an associate chief physician or chief physician). I hope my advice is helpful to you!
