Patient's question:
My friend wants to ask if it's still possible to have an amniocentesis if they have a cold or discomfort issues. It's my friend's fault, they are usually too careless and wear too little, which caused them to have a cold or discomfort issues. They are unsure if having a cold or discomfort issues will affect the amniocentesis.Doctor's answer:
Symptoms such as cold discomfort are not suitable for performing amniocentesis. It is necessary to first treat the upper respiratory infection and wait for recovery before undergoing amniocentesis. Under normal circumstances, the best time for amniocentesis is around 18-24 weeks. However, if the pregnant woman has a large amount of amniotic fluid, the appropriate time for the examination can be determined according to the doctor's advice. But avoid multiple tests, as they can also cause significant harm to the body.
