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. Could you please tell me what tests are needed to confirm a high-risk result from the Down syndrome screening?Doctor's answer:
Down syndrome screening is used to identify children with Down syndrome, which is a common congenital fetal malformation often seen in clinical practice. Generally, we recommend performing the test between the 14th and 20th weeks of pregnancy. Hello, if hydrocephalus is detected during pregnancy, it is necessary to consider induction of labor. Children born with hydrocephalus cannot live normally, suffer from intellectual impairments, and typically die in early childhood.
