Patient's question:

Hello, doctor, I want to know that one of my colleagues is pregnant recently. Then, I advised her to go to the hospital for a check-up. That is, doctor, how much does the prenatal Down syndrome screening cost? Then, how long does it take to get the results? Isn't it, doctor, these tests provide better assurance.

Doctor's answer:

During pregnancy, the cost of the Down syndrome screening test depends on the level of healthcare in your local area. The results may be available in about a week. Down syndrome screening is a very important prenatal test. Therefore, we must pay attention to the timing of the test. It is mainly used to check the probability of the fetus having Down syndrome. If the risk is low, most cases are normal, but if the risk is high, further testing is required.
