Patient's question:
During pregnancy, it's always particularly uncomfortable, and morning sickness is also very severe. May I ask if women of advanced maternal age can only choose amniocentesis for the triple test?Doctor's answer:
When a pregnant woman's age is greater than 35 years old, she is considered a high-risk pregnancy. Pregnant women in this age group primarily undergo prenatal examinations, mainly for screening for Down syndrome. If the standard screening method is used, in most cases, it may result in a high-risk or critical-risk situation. Therefore, for pregnant women in this age group undergoing Down syndrome screening, it is generally recommended to use amniocentesis or non-invasive DNA testing.
