Patient's question:
I am 36 years old. I just had a Down syndrome screening, and the results showed that the screening indicators were high-risk. This is my second child. Now, what should I do? Both my husband and I come from families without genetic diseases, so I don't understand why the Down syndrome screening would yield such results again.Doctor's answer:
If the Down syndrome screening indicates a high risk, this situation can undergo further detailed examinations, such as DNA testing or amniocentesis, to further confirm and monitor the fetal growth and development. The results of DNA testing or amniocentesis are more accurate. If the examination results are normal, there is no need to worry. Perform regular examinations and maintain a relaxed mood, with a proper diet.
