Patient's question:
Hello, I had endometriosis last year and underwent a minor surgery. Then, I took Mifepristone for half a year and got pregnant two months after stopping the medication. My last menstrual period was on December 23rd, and now the doctor said the fetus is two weeks larger than expected based on the ultrasound. I didn’t really increase my nutrition much, so how could it be two weeks larger? I also have a cystic mass on my cervix, approximately 10567 mm in size. The glucose screening time has passed, and now the only option is amniocentesis. Will the hospital perform it for me? Could you please help me analyze whether the fetus will be normal in my current condition? When will the results of the amniocentesis be available?Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Amniocentesis is a procedure where a thin, long needle is guided by ultrasound through the mother's abdomen, the uterine wall, and into the amniotic cavity to extract a sample of amniotic fluid. Advice: The needle used for amniocentesis is relatively long (about 10 cm) but has a very small diameter, finer than a typical blood-drawing needle. Additionally, the nerve distribution in the mother's abdomen is relatively sparse.
