What are the normal values of AFP and HCG in Down syndrome screening?

Patient's question:

I have a particularly itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? What are the normal values for AFP and HCG in the Down syndrome screening?

Doctor's answer:

21- Trisomy risk is 1/630, which is considered a critical risk. This means there is a relatively higher chance that your fetus may have Down syndrome. Of course, prenatal screening is based on probability and cannot diagnose the disease. For a definitive diagnosis, further amniocentesis or umbilical cord blood sampling for chromosome testing is required. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects a woman's physical 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 vaginal discharge test to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Additionally, it is important to pay attention to personal hygiene and maintain cleanliness in the perineal area.
