Patient's question:
Please everyone, my friend has always wanted a child and recently finally achieved her wish. However, she had a prenatal screening test yesterday, and the results came back as high-risk for Down syndrome. She has always been quite lucky, so she doesn't know why this test came back high-risk. What could be causing this?Doctor's answer:
A high-risk result from the Down syndrome screening requires further testing. It is recommended that you see an obstetrician. During pregnancy, it is important to regularly visit an obstetrician for check-ups, eat more protein-rich foods, consume plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits, avoid cold and spicy foods, and include more lean meat, eggs, fish, etc. Personal hygiene must be paid attention to during pregnancy, and underwear should be changed daily. Wash the external genital area with warm water every night. Regular prenatal check-ups at the hospital can ensure a healthy pregnancy.
