Patient's question:
The results of the Down syndrome screening have just been received. The Free-hcgmom value is 0.23, which is a bit low, while other indicators are normal. Will this affect the baby? Is it necessary to go to the hospital for further examination?Doctor's answer:
Generally, the triple screen test mainly assesses the risk of the fetus having Down syndrome. This HCG MOM value is slightly low.Medical advice: If the risk is high, it is best to undergo amniocentesis to rule it out. If only this one item is abnormal, do not be too anxious. It is recommended to have a 4D ultrasound at 20-24 weeks to check the development of the fetus's organs and rule out any malformations. It is advised to go to a formal, top-tier hospital.
