Patient's question:
During pregnancy, it is always particularly uncomfortable, and morning sickness is also very severe. Is it necessary to have an amniocentesis if the triple screen 21 trisomy risk is high?Doctor's answer:
The purpose of the Down syndrome screening is to understand the risk of fetal chromosomal abnormalities, including Trisomy 18 and Trisomy 21. If the detailed examination results indicate a high risk, meaning the likelihood of occurrence is relatively high, further detailed examination is required. The purpose of the amniocentesis examination is to determine whether the fetus has Trisomy 21. If this is the case, a termination of pregnancy is necessary.
