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 also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. What is the meaning of a Down syndrome screening?Doctor's answer:
The purpose is to determine the risk level of the fetus suffering from Down syndrome through blood tests on the pregnant woman. If the results of the screening test indicate a high risk of the fetus having Down syndrome, further diagnostic tests such as amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling should be conducted. Based on the symptoms you mentioned, it is considered to be postpartum blood deficiency and the manifestation of unobstructed meridians. Chinese medicine can be used to invigorate qi, replenish blood, nourish blood, activate blood circulation, and unblock meridians. It can be combined with acupuncture and infrared therapy for treatment.
