Pregnancy in advanced age with uterine fibroids: What tests should be done?

Patient's question:

High-risk early pregnancy at 17 weeks, NT screening showed no abnormalities, no family history of genetic diseases. If undergoing non-invasive low-risk testing, is amniocentesis necessary? Or should it be decided directly to have amniocentesis? What is the latest week for amniocentesis?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, in this case, you can first undergo a Down syndrome screening. If there are abnormalities, you can then have a non-invasive detailed examination. It is recommended to pay attention to rest, avoid overworking, maintain a balanced diet, drink more water, eat more fresh fruits, engage in appropriate exercise, and have follow-up examinations regularly. Uterine fibroids are a serious condition, and it is advised that patients seek timely treatment and follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, it is important to focus on self-care training, maintain a proper diet, and avoid worsening the condition. The above advice is hoped to assist you. Thank you.
