What is prenatal ultrasound screening? Prenatal ultrasound screening refers to a series of prenatal screenings conducted by ultrasound before the birth of a fetus to assess its developmental status or whether it is normal during pregnancy. In this way, it is possible to determine whether the embryo, fetus, or pregnant woman is currently normal, and to detect diseases in advance for intrauterine treatment at the appropriate time. Diseases that cannot be treated can also be detected as soon as possible to determine whether pregnancy can continue.
Prenatal ultrasound screening is mainly used to screen pregnant women for common congenital defects, including Down syndrome, trisomy 18, and open neural tube defects.
The above mentioned congenital defects have a relatively high incidence rate, while neural tube defects and congenital stupidity and other congenital defects are hereditary diseases, but they are also affected by environmental factors, so their occurrence has a certain randomness, and it is impossible to completely exclude the possibility. Therefore, all pregnant women who meet the criteria should participate in prenatal screening.
Prenatal ultrasound screening is used to monitor pregnant women and fetuses to prevent and detect complications as soon as possible, and to reduce the serious impact of these diseases. This prenatal screening is very important and has extraordinary significance for the health of pregnant women and fetuses. In addition, prenatal ultrasound screening can be combined with prenatal diagnosis, which can maximize the prevention of birth defects in infants. Future parents and parents should cooperate with prenatal screening.
