Pregnant women need to undergo a lot of examinations during pregnancy to provide protection for their unborn baby, ensure their safety, and also ensure their physical fitness and health. So, is there any relationship between Tang screening and sheep clothing?
There is a certain relationship between Tangxi and Yangchuan, both of which can be used to predict the risk of fetal malformation. Tang screening is a method of detecting fetal abnormalities by extracting serum samples from pregnant women and measuring the levels of proteins, hormones, and other substances present. It can be divided into early pregnancy Down syndrome screening and mid pregnancy Down syndrome screening. Tang screening belongs to prenatal screening, and prenatal screening and diagnosis focus on the issue of congenital defects such as genetic diseases in babies.
Amniotic fluid puncture, also known as amniocentesis, involves a doctor inserting a slender puncture needle into the uterus under the guidance of ultrasound, extracting 20-30ml of amniotic fluid, and examining the baby's chromosomes to determine if the baby has deformities, including cleft lip and congenital diseases, as well as gender.
If the result of the Down syndrome screening test is "high-risk", it only indicates a high probability of the fetus having Down syndrome, but it does not necessarily mean that the fetus has Down syndrome. Diagnosis of Down syndrome usually involves amniocentesis. Sheep clothing is suitable for pregnant women at 16-20 weeks of gestation. Because sheep clothing is invasive and risky, it is best for pregnant women not to undergo this examination unless necessary.
