What is the difference between FISH testing and amniocentesis?

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 explain the difference between FISH testing and amniocentesis?

Doctor's answer:

Fish diagnosis is performed using immunofluorescence technology for diagnosis. Amniocentesis is a technique for obtaining tissue, which means that obtaining amniotic fluid through amniocentesis is the first step. As for the methods for detecting amniotic fluid, there are many, and immunofluorescence is just one of them. There is no comparability between the two. Of course, immunofluorescence technology can also detect other tissues. Amniocentesis is an invasive examination. If there are signs of miscarriage, fever before the puncture, or acute infection, it should be done with caution.
