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 is an amniocentesis performed?Doctor's answer:
Amniocentesis is a procedure performed at a specific gestational age to collect amniotic fluid and cells within it for analyzing the fetus's chromosomes and metabolites, in order to diagnose whether the fetus has chromosomal abnormalities. Hello, at 6 weeks of pregnancy, the fetus measures 0.85 cm in length. The head, brain vesicles, facial organs, as well as the respiratory, digestive, and nervous systems of the fetus begin to differentiate. The gestational sac is clearly visible on ultrasound, along with the fetal bud and fetal heartbeat. It is necessary to increase nutrition and supplement vitamins and trace elements, while avoiding harmful stimuli.
