How long does it take to get the results of amniocentesis?

Patient's question:

How long does it take to get results from amniocentesis?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, pregnant women with a high risk of Down syndrome screening usually need to undergo amniocentesis for confirmation. The results of amniocentesis are generally available 10 working days later. If the test is sent to an external hospital, it may take even longer. It also depends on the specific circumstances of the hospital where you undergo amniocentesis. We advise you to be patient and wait. It is recommended that you go to a reputable public hospital for further testing and amniocentesis. Good luck!
