Patient's question:
For the past few months, I want to take my son and my husband for a paternity test. Hello, can amniocentesis be used for paternity testing?Doctor's answer:
Amniocentesis can be used for paternity testing, but a simpler method is for the pregnant woman to undergo blood tests. By extracting the pregnant woman's blood and comparing it with some personal items from her husband, it can be determined whether the child is her husband's. Amniocentesis is more invasive and carries a higher risk of complications, with potential dangers during the procedure. However, amniocentesis does have certain risks, so it should be chosen with caution.
