Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Which is better, amniocentesis or NIPT?Doctor's answer:
The results of the two tests are basically similar, possibly because they are both based on confirmed diagnoses. Compared to it, non-invasive DNA is better, as it causes almost no harm to the pregnant woman and fetus, and generally only requires a blood draw from a vein. Amniocentesis carries certain risks, and if not performed properly, it may injure the fetus or cause uterine contractions.
