Patient's question:
I have been six months now. Today, it was said that the Down syndrome screening did not pass. Is there any way to check the Down syndrome screening now? Is this test mandatory?Doctor's answer:
The screening for Down syndrome is only a preliminary diagnosis, and the results are not definitive. For women, the screening is preliminary, and we generally recommend non-invasive DNA or amniocentesis. A positive screening result does not necessarily mean that the child has a higher risk of having this condition. For safety, it is recommended to undergo a non-invasive DNA test and an amniocentesis. There is no risk to the body, but the cost is relatively high.
