Patient's question:
Now I am about 2 months pregnant. Someone told me to get a detailed check for Down syndrome. What does a detailed check for Down syndrome involve?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help you clarify your questions. After getting pregnant, a detailed check-up for the triple screen test is performed, which is mainly used to rule out trisomy 21 syndrome in the early stages of pregnancy. If the triple screen test results are below the normal range, there is a risk, and further detailed testing is required. Usually, non-invasive DNA testing is considered. If the non-invasive DNA test results are normal, no further detailed testing is needed, and the risk can be ruled out. Then, dynamic monitoring can be conducted.
