How to Read a Down Syndrome Screening Report

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. How should I read the Down syndrome screening report?

Doctor's answer:

Down syndrome screening mainly checks: free β-HCG, alpha-fetoprotein AFP, AFP AGE, 21-trisomy risk, 18-trisomy risk, neural tube defect risk, etc.; comprehensive analysis of risk levels is conducted based on these items. Generally, even if confirmed as high-risk by Down syndrome screening, the actual probability of having a child with the condition is only one in a thousand. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects a woman's life but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have a vaginal discharge test at the gynecology department of the hospital, identify the cause, and then treat accordingly. Pay attention to personal hygiene and maintain cleanliness of the perineal skin in daily life.
