Down syndrome screening is also a type of prenatal examination, but it cannot determine the gender of the fetus. It can only show whether the fetus is healthy or not. If you want to know the gender of the fetus, you should use the correct examination method. Nowadays, many methods for determining the gender of the fetus are unscientific and inaccurate.
Down syndrome screening is conducted by extracting blood from pregnant women for examination, and cannot determine the chromosomal status of the fetus, so it cannot determine gender at all. It is not feasible to use this method to determine whether the fetus is male or female. However, Down syndrome screening is still a necessary test to know the development of the fetus.
Amniocentesis
If the result of Down syndrome screening is relatively dangerous, further examination should be carried out, such as amniocentesis. This examination can not only detect whether the fetus is deformed, but also know what the fetus's chromosomes are. Through amniocentesis examination, it can determine whether the fetus is a boy or a girl, and the examination result is more accurate and reliable.
B-ultrasound examination
During pregnancy, various examinations are required, and B-ultrasound is also a method of observing the condition of the fetus. After three months of pregnancy, the gender of the fetus can be determined through B-ultrasound examination. However, nowadays medical institutions do not disclose information about gender to pregnant women, and the B-ultrasound sheet only displays the development and amniotic fluid condition of the fetus.
To determine whether the fetus is male or female, scientific methods need to be used for examination, and the results are the most accurate. Down syndrome screening may not be 100% accurate in determining the gender of the fetus, and some folk methods may not be effective. Therefore, pregnant women should prioritize the health of the fetus, and whether the fetus is male or female is secondary, so there is no need to specifically check the gender.
