What should I do if the results of the Down syndrome screening are high-risk?

Patient's question:

I have been pregnant for more than four months. Before pregnancy, the check-up at four months was for the Down syndrome screening, which was half price. However, I have done two rounds of Down syndrome screening, and the results were both high-risk. I really hope the baby inside me is healthy. What should I do about the high-risk results of the Down syndrome screening?

Doctor's answer:

The results of the Down syndrome screening indicate a high risk, requiring timely improvement through amniocentesis or careful non-invasive DNA testing, as the high risk of Down syndrome screening suggests the possibility that the fetus may have Down syndrome. Down syndrome is primarily a hereditary disease caused by abnormality in chromosome 21 and is incurable, with treatment only possible through rehabilitation training. Enhance nutrient intake and maintain a balanced diet.
