Patient's question:
I need to take my child to the hospital in the afternoon for a Down syndrome screening. After that, I need to take my child out of the province for business trips, and I'm very worried about whether the results will be available within two days or if I'll have to wait a few more days. How long does it take to get the results of the Down syndrome screening?Doctor's answer:
The results of the Down syndrome screening can be available on the same day. During pregnancy, we need to regularly visit the maternity department for prenatal check-ups, eat more protein-rich foods, consume plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits, and avoid cold, spicy, and irritating foods. It is recommended to eat more lean meat, eggs, fish, etc. During pregnancy, personal hygiene should be paid attention to, and underwear should be changed daily. In the three months before and after pregnancy, the external genital area should be washed with warm water every night. It is advised not to have sexual intercourse during this period.
