Patient's question:
We sent our prenatal screening to the Maternal and Child Health Hospital a few days ago. The results showed high hCG. Is this a Down syndrome child? The report indicated a 1/650 risk of Down syndrome. Does this belong to the high-risk group? Now we don't know what to do. We hope you can guide us! Is it necessary to have an amniocentesis?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the triple test involves inputting the values of blood HCG, alpha-fetoprotein, and free estriol into professional software, and then judging based on the pregnant woman's age, gestational age, and other factors. The results are categorized as high-risk or low-risk. If it's just a high blood HCG level, and the result is low-risk, there is no problem.I suggest you check your results. If they are all low-risk, it's not a big issue. During pregnancy, focus on nutrition, eat more vegetables and fruits, avoid spicy foods, canned foods, and do not drink cold drinks or sodas.
