Why is the Down syndrome screening considered low-risk?

Patient's question:

Today the results of the Down syndrome screening came out. It said it is recommended to consult for intergenerational inheritance. I asked at the hospital and they said blood needs to be drawn for testing at the city lab. Is it really necessary? Careful help: Why is the Down syndrome screening low risk, but still requires intergenerational inheritance consultation?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if your screening results for Down syndrome are low-risk, further testing is not necessary. It is recommended that you maintain a positive mood and a regular lifestyle, engage in appropriate exercise to ensure deep sleep, which will still be beneficial for fetal growth and development. Additionally, patients should maintain a regular schedule, take precautions against cold and keep the room well-ventilated, and consume light, soft, and easily digestible foods while drinking plenty of hot water daily.
