Patient's question:
Today I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up. The doctor said I have a high risk of Down syndrome screening. So, what should I do next?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the Down syndrome screening is a major structural anomaly examination in the early stages of pregnancy and is very necessary to do. Generally, if it indicates a high risk, it means the baby may have certain developmental issues, and further tests are recommended for confirmation, such as non-invasive DNA testing or amniocentesis. If the follow-up results are good, there is no need to worry. If the follow-up results are not good either, it is not recommended to continue the pregnancy.
