Patient's question:
During pregnancy, it's always particularly uncomfortable, and morning sickness is also very severe. Is the risk of amniocentesis high?Doctor's answer:
Amniocentesis still carries certain risks, with a small miscarriage rate of 1.5%. Therefore, if the pregnant woman is of advanced maternal age and has no history of hereditary diseases, it is generally unnecessary to perform amniocentesis. You can first undergo routine screening to check for high risk, or directly use non-invasive DNA testing, which is quite accurate. If high risk is detected, further amniocentesis can be performed.
