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 on business trips out of the province, so 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, and consume fresh vegetables and fruits. Avoid cold, spicy, and irritating foods, and 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, use warm water to clean the external genitalia every night. It is recommended not to have sexual intercourse during this period.
