Patient's question:
The patient recently feels generally unwell, and there is a high risk of Down syndrome based on the triple screen test?Doctor's answer:
The Down syndrome screening only tests the probability of having a certain congenital disease, but it cannot fully predict how the disease will manifest. In this case, it only proves that the probability of the fetus having trisomy 21 syndrome is much higher. To further confirm the diagnosis, non-invasive DNA testing or amniocentesis can be used. During pregnancy, it is essential to pay attention to a balanced diet and take folic acid. Wishing you a speedy recovery and good health.
