Patient's question:
Here is the translation of the provided text into English:A few days ago, the results of the prenatal screening came out. The doctor said that two items showed high risk and recommended an amniocentesis.
Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Hello, the Down syndrome screening is only a method for risk assessment and cannot determine whether the fetus has trisomy 21, trisomy 18, open neural tube defects, or other conditions. It only estimates the likelihood of these abnormalities. The current ultrasound again suggests the possibility of fetal abnormalities, so it is still better to undergo amniocentesis.Recommendations:
1. If the amniocentesis confirms that the fetus has abnormalities, it would be better not to insist on retaining the pregnancy.
2. The success rate and safety of amniocentesis are over 99%, making it a very safe examination method.
