Patient's question:
I am a PCOS patient, and getting pregnant was particularly difficult. Later, I underwent a test tube culture and only then became pregnant. At 17 weeks of pregnancy, I had a screening test for trisomy, and it showed abnormal chromosomes. The doctor said there was a borderline risk. What should I do if there is an abnormal chromosome in the screening? What should I do if there is an abnormal chromosome in the screening?Doctor's answer:
At four months pregnant, I had the triple screen test. The results can be low-risk, critical-risk, or high-risk. Low-risk is normal, high-risk requires amniocentesis for a thorough examination, and critical-risk falls between low-risk and high-risk, also requiring a thorough examination. The triple screen test is a way to check for congenital abnormalities and has some reference value. Amniocentesis is used to examine chromosomes for accurate results. Chromosomal abnormalities can be very harmful to the child. If a mom notices any symptoms in her child, she should take them to a regular hospital for diagnosis immediately.
