Patient's question:
Working in the print and copy room, the weekends are all about printers, scanners, fax machines, and other equipment. The working environment has very strong radiation. I am also a high-risk pregnancy, and it is said that the chance of having a Down syndrome child decreases as the mother's age increases. Now I am in the 14th week of pregnancy and am planning to do a Down syndrome screening. Is my Down syndrome screening high-risk?Doctor's answer:
Hello, is your Down syndrome screening result high-risk, or does it require a thorough examination to determine? Do not worry too much now and relax. You are currently waiting for the Down syndrome screening around 16 to 18 weeks for a thorough examination. After the examination results are available, you will know if it is high-risk. The Down syndrome screening requires fasting, so you must pay attention not to eat dinner or drink water before the examination.
