Patient's question:
At 17 weeks of pregnancy, I had the triple screen test. During the test, the doctor repeatedly emphasized that the triple screen test is not comprehensive and is not as good as amniocentesis, but then said that amniocentesis does have certain risks. I don't know if I should do an amniocentesis?Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: High-risk pregnant woman, the incidence rate of fetal malformation is higher than that of young women of childbearing age. Suggestions: Triple screen test is not comprehensive compared to amniocentesis, but the former is non-invasive, while the latter is invasive. It is recommended to consider whether to perform amniocentesis based on the results of the triple screen test. Doctor's inquiry:
