Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? What are the tests included in the Down syndrome screening?Doctor's answer:
Hello, Down syndrome screening is a test that involves drawing a pregnant woman's blood to measure the levels of alpha-fetoprotein and human chorionic gonadotropin in the maternal serum. It also takes into account the pregnant woman's due date, age, weight, and gestational age at the time of blood collection to calculate the risk of having a child with Down syndrome. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects a woman's health but can also lead to the development of gynecological conditions. Therefore, it is best to visit the gynecology department of a hospital for a gynecological examination. After identifying the cause, symptomatic treatment should be administered. In daily life, attention should be paid to dietary regulation, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoiding spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
