Patient's question:
Here is the English translation of the provided text:16 weeks 6 days, I had the Down syndrome screening, and the result was high risk. The doctor recommended an amniocentesis. The test results only came out a few days ago. I am now 19 weeks 4 days pregnant. I would like to ask, when can an amniocentesis be done before pregnancy?
Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Amniocentesis can be performed from the second trimester, starting from week 16, with similar risks throughout this period.Recommendation: The accuracy of the results from amniocentesis at this stage is the same, so it is best to follow the doctor's scheduled time for the procedure.
