Patient's question:
I've been pregnant for more than five months, and carrying a child physically makes me feel very tired every day. Yesterday, at the hospital for prenatal check-up, the doctor recommended I have a Down syndrome screening. Every time, I have had ultrasound and urine tests, etc. Hello doctor, what is the "Phase II Down Syndrome Comprehensive Evaluation Screening" you mentioned?Doctor's answer:
Down syndrome evaluation screening Phase II is a detailed check to assess the risk of the fetus developing Down syndrome. The detailed check for Down syndrome screening requires fasting, so you must not eat dinner or drink water before the examination. The results of the Down syndrome screening usually take about a week to be available. Once they are ready, you can directly show them to your doctor. If it indicates low risk, there is generally no problem. If it indicates high risk, further testing may be necessary.
