Patient's question:
I am a PCOS patient, and getting pregnant was particularly difficult. Later, I underwent a PGT (Preimplantation Genetic Testing) procedure and finally got pregnant. At 17 weeks of pregnancy, I had a screening test, and the results showed abnormal chromosomes. The doctor said there was a borderline risk. What should I do about the abnormal chromosomes in the screening test? What should I do about the abnormal chromosomes in the screening test?Doctor's answer:
In the situation you mentioned, if it is a critical high-risk case, then you should consider doing a non-invasive DNA test. As long as the non-invasive DNA test comes back normal, it should be fine. This non-invasive test is highly accurate, more accurate than the detailed screening for Down syndrome. Chromosomal abnormalities can have a significant impact on the child. Once the mother notices the symptoms of the child, she should immediately take the child to a regular hospital for diagnosis. At the same time, she should pay close attention to the child's care issues. It is recommended to maintain a proper diet and avoid spicy or harmful foods. We hope the child can receive effective treatment and recover!
