Patient's question:
My wife is going to have an amniocentesis, and I'm also quite scared because I'm from the countryside and don't have much money, so I'm a bit afraid. I don't know how much an amniocentesis at the women's and children's hospital will cost?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, it is estimated that amniocentesis may cost around 2,000 yuan in general. Amniocentesis is an invasive examination that can be performed between the 16th and 20th weeks of pregnancy. The main purpose of amniocentesis is to check if the fetal chromosomes are normal. It is an invasive test with certain risks. If there is no history of adverse pregnancy or chromosomal diseases, amniocentesis is not a routine examination.
