Pregnant women need to undergo prenatal check ups every month starting from the third month of registration. Prenatal examination mainly checks the physical condition of pregnant women and the development of the fetus. The content of prenatal check ups varies every month, usually around 20 weeks, and NT examination is needed to check whether the fetus has Down syndrome. So, what should we do if NT thickens?
If a pregnant woman tests for NT thickening, it indicates the presence of Down syndrome or other chromosomal abnormalities, and the fetus shows abnormalities, it can also lead to NT thickening. In this situation, pregnant women should not be too nervous and can undergo another puncture surgery to better determine the cause.
If the final examination shows Down syndrome or other chromosomal abnormalities in the fetus, induced abortion surgery can be performed under the guidance of a doctor. After the surgery, it is necessary to pay attention to rest more. Induced abortion surgery is very harmful to women's uterus, so it is important to supplement nutrition in order to help the uterus recover better.
Overall, NT thickening may be due to Down syndrome, other deformities, or it needs to be determined through puncture. Regardless of the reason, pregnant women should relax themselves and take appropriate measures according to the doctor's guidance. If you want to conceive again in the later stage, it is necessary to do pre pregnancy examinations and check your chromosomes first.
